I heard this on the news yesterday. I too cannot believe that these stores lack a quality control process on herbal supplements. GAIA herbs and New Chapter are reputable sources if you are looking to switch from a big box store source. Of course, they'll cost you more but it's probably worth it in the long run.

I know vitamin supplements will degrade over time and therefore not provide the full amount stated. But to completely replace herbal ingredients with other "stuff" is plain old fraud and these manufacturers need to be held accountable.
