Don't Let Congress Limit Your Access to Dietary Supplements

 

Take action now. Enter your zip code.

 

We need your help to defend one of our most basic health freedoms! Congress is

about to roll back your right to access safe, affordable and effective dietary

supplements while claiming to protect your health.

 

Bills in both the House and Senate would dramatically change the current law

governing dietary supplements, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act

(DSHEA). Of particular concern are bills S. 722, the Dietary Supplement Safety

Act and H.R. 3377, the Dietary Supplement Access and Awareness Act.

 

Keep the phrase “affordable supplements” from becoming obsolete. Although the

safety record for dietary supplements far surpasses all drug products and many

conventional foods, Congress still wants to impose standards that in some cases

exceed those for over-the-counter and prescription drugs. This translates into

higher costs for the consumer.

 

If it's not broken, it doesn't need to be fixed. The law governing supplements,

the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, clearly gives the Food and Drug

Administration all the authority it needs to police the marketplace and keep bad

products from being sold. But because the Food and Drug Administration has

failed to fully uphold the law, Congress is looking to make changes that will

undermine your freedom of choice.

 

Don't let the government limit your freedom of choice. By questioning the safety

of any dietary supplement that receives even one complaint, hundreds of products

that have been safely and beneficially used could be removed from the

marketplace. Under this new legislation, the FDA has complete discretion to make

this determination, regardless of whether the product was used under conditions

cautioned against by the manufacturer on the label. The result: fewer choices

for consumers.

 

NNFA believes that DSHEA is a good law that strikes a balance between providing

consumers with safe access to dietary supplements and protecting them from

misleading or dangerous products. Please email your senators and representative

and ask them not to tamper with this important law. The ability of the American

pubic to make informed decisions about maintaining their own good health must

not be undermined. Tell Congress not to dismantle DSHEA.
