People tend to comment a lot, all over the web, about vitamins and supplements that aren't approved by the FDA. From what I understand, if they were approved, they would no longer be a SUPPLEMENT, but be a DRUG. They would then fall under the guidelines and rules that pharamceutical drugs fall under (requiring a license of some sort, I think), which can cost in the millions...this in turn can possibly put some of these supplement companies out of business. It DOES make more sense to me that way, as I always wondered why that statement was on the bottles.
