I love buying fresh herbs, but a package from the store can be expensive. Plus, there’s usually so many herbs that it can be hard to use them all before they go bad (learn how to store herbs properly to maximize their lifespan).

We say “likely” because there’s really no way to know for sure, since the supplement industry is not regulated the same way food is by the Food and Drug Administration or U.S. Department of Agriculture. While there are certain databases where companies can voluntary register products (like this one by Therapeutic Research Center), the key word there is “voluntary....
