FDA's letter on the DSHEA disclaimer follows advocacy efforts from the AHPA, CRN, NPA, and others.

CRN said the new content is part of a comprehensive, science-based resource on nutrient safety that serves manufacturers, regulators, and health practitioners seeking evidence-based recommendations.

Based on the FDA’s sampling and testing results, the agency is concerned that other products marketed as tejocote root (including with other names such as Crataegus mexicana, Raiz de Tejocote, and Mexican Hawthorn) may contain yellow oleander. 

Following a preliminary study on melatonin supplements, CRN said: "As the American Heart Association itself notes, this research represents early, non–peer-reviewed data that cannot establish cause and effect." 

NOW has shared the latest results from its industry quality testing program of dietary supplements, which investigates unfamiliar brands sold on online in an effort to raise awareness on low-quality products.

"Consumer Reports is using scare headlines to undermine the credibility of a $70 billion+ industry built on transparency, safety and science,” said NPA's Dr. Daniel Fabricant.

The Council for Responsible Nutrition has shared insights, key updates, and action steps on a variety of issues impacting the natural products industry.

The consortium addressed a range of issues impacting the natural products industry, including pesticide reduction, GMO elimination, trade protections for botanicals, and the Maternal Vitamin D Initiative.
