If you take supplements containing glandular ingredients from animals, including some digestive enzymes, you may need to concern yourselfwith mad cow disease risk. Four years ago, animal imports were banned from countries that reported outbreaks of mad cow disease. However, some industry experts are concerned that supplement companies may still be using banned meat products. The FDA sent letters to supplement manufacturers recommending they use ingredients from uninfected countries, but compliance is strictly voluntary. Industry experts estimate that almost half of glandular supplement manufacturers do not include ingredient sources on their labels. Though there has never been a reported case of mad cow disease in the these countries, this issue still warrants concern.
