Dietary Supplements

Whether at home, work or play, FDA attempts to protect the public against health hazards that range from debilitation to deadly. It does this day-in and day-out by ensuring the safety and in most cases the quality and effectiveness of a trillion dollars’ worth of products that constitute nearly one-fourth of the total consumer expenditures of U.S. citizens.

A Dietary Supplement is intended to provide nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, fatty acids or amino acids that are missing or are not consumed in sufficient quantity in a person's diet. In the United States, dietary supplements are regulated as foods. While pharmaceutical companies are required to obtain FDA approval proving the safety or effectiveness of their products prior to their entry into the market, dietary supplements, like food, do not need to be pre-approved by FDA before they can enter the market.  Nevertheless, manufacturers of dietary supplements are required to ensure that their products are safe, that they do not contain any unsafe ingredients, that they comply with all relevant labeling laws and regulations, and that the products’ labeling do not make any unauthorized drug claims.
