You asked "So how do you know if you are getting the right stuff and not just throwing your money away or putting yourself in danger?"

You don't. You can hope that the more reputable companies have a quality control system in place, but independent testing laboratories have found huge variations from batch to batch even in the 'best' of supplement makers.

The risk of putting oneself in danger is quite small, but the chance that one is spending money for no good purpose is always there.

A good surce of information on supplements is the University of California, Berkeley Wellness Letter.
