Spot dictation: Passage 2 Is there really a magic __1__ or a herbal recall remedy? I have been frequently asked if these __2__ work.

What your memory needs is a good ___3___. So really those supplements aren't going to give you that perfect memory in the way that they promise. The other thing is that a lot of these supplements aren't necessarily what they claim to be, and you really have to be ___4___ when you take any of them. The science isn't there behind most of them. They're not really well-regulated unless they ____5___ some industry standard. You don't really know that what they say is in there, isn't there. What you must understand is that those supplements, especially in some eastern cultures, are part of a medical practice tradition. People don't just go in a local ___6___ and buy these supplements. In fact, they are ____7___ and they're given at a certain level, a ___8___ that is understood by a practitioner who's been trained. And that's not really the way they're used in this country.

A lot of times people are not really aware of the impact they have, or the fact that taking them in combination with other medications might put you ___10___ for something that you wouldn't otherwise being countering or be at risk for.
