The scope of Dietary Supplement in the USA.


A Dietary Supplement is a product (not tobacco) intended to supplement the diet and may contain one or more of the following dietary ingredients: vitamins, minerals, herbs (herbal) or other plants, amino acids, and dietary ingredients to increase the total daily intake, or a concentrate, metabolite, extract or combination of these ingredients. It may not be consumed in the form of tablets, capsules, powders, soft gels, or oral liquids; it may not be consumed as a conventional food or as the sole component of a meal diet. DSHEA also allows the use of pharmaceutical ingredients, such as approved or licensed new drugs, antibiotics, biologics, etc., provided that they have been marketed as Immunity increases or food before the relevant approval, certification, or licensing; however, if they have not been marketed as a Dietary Supplement or food before the relevant approval or certification, they may not be used as a Dietary Supplement. However, if the substance has not been marketed as a Dietary Supplement or food before the relevant approval or certification, it may not be used in Dietary Supplement.


Regulatory authority for Dietary Supplement in the United States.


The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), one of the federal executive agencies of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is the regulatory authority for Dietary Supplement, which is different from "conventional" foods and drugs, primarily under DSHEA, which was established in 1994. Dietary Supplements and Dietary Ingredients Manufacturers and distributors of dietary supplements and dietary ingredients are responsible for assessing the safety and labeling of their products before marketing to ensure that they meet all the requirements of DSHEA and the relevant FDA regulations. The Centre for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) is responsible for the safety and labeling of the Hard capsules. The National Institutes of Health (NIH), one of the HHS divisions, focuses on scientific research and the NIH Office of Dietary Supplement (ODS) coordinates the overall management of the Dietary Supplement. The common goal of NIH and FDA is to promote public health by facilitating the translation of basic and clinical research into medical products and treatments. These agencies complement each other in their roles and functions: NIH supports and conducts biomedical and behavioral research, and FDA ensures the safety and efficacy of medical and other products. In addition, the Committee on Dietary Supplement Labelling (CDSL) examines the regulatory and Dietary Supplement claims on labels and provides recommendations on how best to provide consumers with information that is truthful, scientifically valid, and not misleading. The Commission is composed of seven members appointed by the President. The members of the committee should have expertise and experience in the manufacture, regulation, distribution, and use of Dietary Supplement. At least three of the members should have scientific training and experience to assess the health benefits of Dietary Supplement use, and one of the members should have experience in pharmacology, medical botany, traditional herbal medicine, or other science-related fields. Committee members and staff should be free from bias on Dietary Supplement issues.
