Homeopathic vs. Herbal Supplements
Permalink   


Homeopathy uses natural substances derived from botanical, animal or mineral sources in

micro doses to assist the body's natural mechanisms for protecting and healing itself.

Homeopathic medicines are regulated by the FDA, but in different ways than other drugs.

According to FDA.gov, manufacturers of homeopathic drugs are deferred from submitting new

drug applications to FDA and their products are exempt from good manufacturing practice

requirements. However, homeopathic drugs in solid oral dosage form must have an imprint

that identifies the manufacturer, the active ingredient and dosage strength, and indicates

that the drug is homeopathic.
Herbal remedies are made from parts of whole plants. Herbal supplements are not regulated

as medicines by the FDA and thus can make unsubstantiated health claims.
