A regulation that threatens supplement access is gaining traction. Action Alert! A well-organized, coordinated campaign from the FDA and Big Pharma is threatening access to the supplements you depend on. Using the false premise that supplements are unsafe, the FDA is working to gain more power over the regulation of supplements in order to further […]
A new regulation for supplements threatens access. Action Alert! The FDA is on the record supporting mandatory product listing for dietary supplements—that is, requiring each supplement manufacturer to register all the products it makes, including all the ingredients of those products, with the FDA. It’s a strong possibility that with a Democratic appointee—which could be […]
Food and dietary supplements are the cornerstone of natural medicine. Mountains of evidence attest both to their safety and their ability to improve health. Yet for decades, the FDA and the pharmaceutical industry have been waging war against food and supplements. Why? Because they threaten their bottom line. Do you want government cronies and special […]
A new announcement from the head of the FDA gives reason for concern. Action Alert! Just a few days ago, FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb released a wide-ranging statement about the FDA’s regulatory approach to dietary supplements. The statement was short on details, and without more explanation we see some potential causes for concern. Consumers who […]
It’s music to the ears of the FDA—but terrible for consumers. We need to tell the administration: supplements under the law are food, not drugs! Action Alert! As we’ve been telling you, the Trump administration has proposed merging the food safety duties of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Food and Drug Administration […]
Their analysis is so flawed, one wonders if they know anything about cars or cameras, either. Action Alert! Last week, Consumer Reports (CR) published an article warning consumers about fifteen supplement ingredients “to always avoid.” The article repeats many of the same fallacies that we have addressed elsewhere, suggesting that this is just another hatchet […]
A federal bill seeks to curb the IRS’s recent abuses of free political speech. It needs our support. Action Alert! In 2013, we told you about then newly proposed IRS rules that would say what we, as a 501(c)4 nonprofit, are allowed to tell you and what we are not allowed to tell you. To […]
We expect it to be slipped into a must-pass defense bill. Major Action Alert! Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) may be up to his old tricks and attempting to attach a last-minute amendment to must-pass legislation that would threaten Americans’ access to supplements. This comes after our champions already shut down his previous attempts in a markup […]
With your help, we can defeat it once again. Action Alert! Last week we told you about an anti-supplement amendment that we think will be attached to a must-pass bill to fund the military in fiscal year 2017. We also believe this amendment will be introduced to the full Senate this week, so it is […]
It’s the same tactic these senators used last year, and with your help we will beat it back again. Action Alert! Last year, Sens. Blumenthal (D-CT) and Durbin (D-IL) attempted to attach anti-supplement amendments to a must-pass defense appropriations bill, but were stopped by our grassroots activists and other stakeholders. It looks as if the […]
