A recent investigation into the sale of herbal supplements has uncovered deceptive marketing practices.

One herbal supplement seller told an investigator posing as an elderly person that taking ginkgo with aspirin would improve their memory.
The FDA warns the combination could increase your risk of internal bleeding.
