Dietary supplements are regulated as food, not medicine in the US. This means the FDA is far more restricted in what it can do to regulate them.

- zo1 12y ago>"Dietary supplements are regulated as food, not medicine in the US." #Edit: One of the other posters mentioned that this isn't exactly a controlled substance. So points below may not apply anymore. That's problem number one. Problem number 2 is why these companies are allowed to make regulated substances, and bypass the "prescription" mechanics set in place for regulated substances. They're not restricted. And even if they are in some weird legal grey area, they must just contact the DEA as it is a plain "drug" issue.
