I don't know if it is standard practice but how can one person evaluate thousands of products and decide if they are safe to sell?

Most of it I've seen is pure quackery. Hold this bottle while I press down on your arms if you get weak then we give it to you, or something. But let's not confuse that nonsense with natural substances that actually are helpful. Boswellia (frankincense) for example is effective for inflammatory conditions such as arthritis.
The problem is people substitute professional advice and knowledge with their own prejudices or worse believe conspiracy theories at the peril of their children.
