Its called a patent, and any drug company would stampede your door if you had a product that works and is safe and could be patented, and yes they would mark it up and make big profits. I am not saying that drug companies are ethical or moral. The side effects listed on commercials are due the full disclosure requirements by the FDA. The FDA is not perfect by any means. But you are implying that Food Supplements are safer because there is no side effects listed. That's probably because there is no requirement for them to study and identify problems and then report the side effects! Products like LIMU, Formula 1, Herbalife, Juice plus, Monavie, Hadacol come and go every year. Most of these products are sold by multi level marketing by people who are informed by the manufacturer on how good their product is. Check the label on all of these products and it will state "food supplement". If it walks and talks like a duck ..........
