I stared at the bottle of multivitamins on my desk.

The name was bold and assertive. The label was covered in chemical formulas I couldn't parse, and a small line of text: "Dietary Supplement." Not a health food. Not a drug. Just a "dietary supplement." Four words, light as air. But you know that for it to sit here, on this desk, a vast and intricate regulatory machine had to turn behind the scenes.

Code name: APTX4869. It supposedly "causes death in those who take it." It also, on rare occasions, "reverses aging" in traitors to the organization — I am not an expert on the technical details, so I will leave those aside.

How far is a drug like this from actually circulating on the market?

The journey from laboratory to victim involves more than pharmacology. It must pass through a globally recognized set of technical standards. The name for this framework is GXP.
