Safety Data Sheets

Answer:

Vitamin and mineral raw materials used to make supplements are purchased by manufacturers in highly concentrated or "pure" forms. Exposure (by ingestion, inhalation, or contact) to even small amounts of these raw ingredients can potentially be dangerous to workers during manufacture, so safety sheets exist for each ingredient to provide information about hazards for each ingredient and how it should be handled.

However, the ingredients are generally much safer once they have been made into dietary supplements in which they are presented in lower doses and, often, mixed with other ingredients that reduce their concentration.

As a Californian, I sometimes see supplements marked with Prop 65 warnings. Is this a different issue?
