Dietary Supplement Analysis: Thinking Outside the Box
Nearly half of all US FDA drug recalls since 2014 have been tainted with pharmaceutical ingredient. James Neal-Kababick, Founder and Director of Flora Research Laboratories (FRL) in Oregon, USA, is working towards developing new approaches using phytoforensic science to analyze dietary supplements available on the market that have been previously recalled by the US FDA. LCGC interviewed him to find out more.
