Thesis: With the aid of DNA Bar coding species can be identified through their DNA sequence. However, this takes not only time, but it might not work for all products. Especially for the instance of pharmaceuticals or drugs. With Project 2 and 3 it will reveal an app that has an attachment that allows the consumer to check for the product on the spot – no wait time, no kits to send off. OUTDATED -> REFER TO MOST RECENT THESIS

Thesis as of 5/19: While prescribed medicines are heavily regulated by organizations such as the FDA, supplements have different restrictions due to Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994. This act effectively labels supplements as a “food” and not a drug. This means at these products are not as heavily tested, as prescription drugs.
