FDA is cracking the vitamin whip

As of this month, the FDA is stepping up their care and feeding of vitamins and herbs. Since that sentence made no sense, I'll break it down into layman's terms - apparently, it is not uncommon for a vitamin to claim to have a potency that it in fact, does not. The FDA is concerned and will start testing products for accuracy.
Since they are giving companies about a year before the fines and penalties set in, we're probably slated to keep purchasing our crapshoot vitamins until then. This is news to me, as I always assumed they were already regulated. Who knew?
