FDA is reviewing portions of DSHEA, the Dietary Supplement Health

Education Act. The agency may propose new and overly burdensome

regulations that could restrict your access to new dietary

ingredients and dietary supplements that were not on the market

prior to 1994 when DSHEA was passed.

 

Recall that 2.5 million concerned consumers contacted Congress

between 1992 and 1994 to support DSHEA and assure access to their

supplements. In response to the overwhelming consumer support,

Congress passed DSHEA and deliberately created new and different

regulations for dietary supplements. Congress enacted DSHEA to stop

the FDA from treating dietary supplements like food additives or

drugs and to protect consumer's rights to purchase these products.

 

We need to make our voices heard once again!

The deadline is February 1, 2005. Send YOUR Letter NOW

 

Tell the FDA to uphold DSHEA and your continued access to beneficial

dietary supplements today! At risk are many innovative

and particularly effective dietary supplements. The FDA needs to

hear from you to preserve your hard-won access to the most

innovative and important health products. Any new guidelines that

require onerous food additive and drug like notifications, excessive

testing and documentation will make the introduction of new products

unnecessarily expensive.

 

This disincentive for companies to develop new health promoting

products will assuredly lead to the reduction of many products that

can benefit the health of Americans. It could block consumer access

to validated new and innovative products -- for good. American

consumers have the right to these health enhancing products that are

also shown, in many cases, to reduce the staggering public health

burden, and reduce the cost of health care.

 

We only have a few short weeks to send a strong message. The FDA is

considering comments until February 1,2005. Make sure your voice is

heard.

 

Washington, DC needs to hear from at least 25,000 consumers who care

about their health rights. Urge the FDA to ensure that any new

guidelines for New Dietary Ingredients reflect the intent of

Congress and continue to provide complete access to the safe,

affordable and innovative dietary supplements you rely on for your

health.
