Supplements aren't unregulated. They're treated as food. And I'd bet there's some bit of regulation somewhere that says you can't arbitrarily label a medicine as a supplement.

They're unregulated as a matter of law until there are reports of injury. Unlike food, there's no requirement that the manufacturing adhere to any kind of standard, or that the contents of the supplement match the ingredient list.
