The authors of the review have reproduced figures from two previous publications that show the results of omega-3 dietary supplement quality assessment which has not been carried out in a correct manner.
|
|
These reproduced results are misinterpreted with respect to the quality requirements set by industry for dietary supplements and pharmaceutical products, because methods assessing these requirements have not been followed correctly.
|
|
The authors failed to cite a replication study reporting conflicting results from one of the cited studies used to substantiate their position.
|
|
Recent literature showing good to excellent quality of dietary supplements available to consumers has been omitted.
