Independent testing keeps finding the same things in popular supplements: a fraction of the dose on the label, cheaper ingredients swapped in, heavy metals the company never mentioned. If you bought one of these products, New York law gives you a way to respond.
Best-sellers bought on Amazon. One delivered under 0.1% of its labeled 5 g dose.

"If a drug company says a pill contains 500 mg, the FDA verified it. If a supplement company makes the same claim, nobody did — until an independent lab bought it off the shelf and ran the numbers."
