One of the new "miracle" supplements is kratom, have you considered taking it?

The annual number of calls related to kratom that were made to poison control centers in the U.S. increased from 13 calls in 2011 to 682 calls in 2017, a 52.5-fold increase, according to findings recently published in Clinical Toxicology.

That is the equivalent of going from about one call a month to two calls a day. Almost two-thirds (65%) of these exposures occurred from 2016 through 2017

The hustlers in the supplement game are like women's fashion designers. They have to always come up with the next "BIG" thing. Promise life and erections from a new angle. recruit new users. Try it for free just pay shipping and handling. I must be annoyed this morning. I think at some point charges of attempted murder are appropriate or maybe just blatant disregard for human life but the wild west of put something in a bottle and call it a supplement and you have fraud with no risk makes me mad.

They may not have found their celebrity spokesperson yet, but they are trying to be the next big thing

Agh! How I wish the US would have a government agency that would have greater supplement scrutiny. Though I've read that the FDA has made stronger restrictions recently and given citations. How are things in Europe?
