Dietary supplements are health and wellness products that contain dietary ingredients, including minerals, vitamins, herbs, amino acids, botanicals, and other categories of ingredients that can be used to supplement diets. The forms of dietary supplements include but are not limited to tablets, powders, capsules, gummies, and liquids. The supplements are used to improve health, used for the prevention of ailments, and for the maintenance of overall wellness.
Based on the CRN Consumer Survey on Dietary Supplements conducted in 2019, 77% of Americans consume dietary supplements. The majority of both are males and females, aged 18+ years. Among the age groups, adults between the ages of 35 – 54 years old share 18% consumption, the highest usage of dietary supplements. Consequently, the nutritional supplement industry is witnessing massive growth, primarily in vitamins and protein supplements.
The FDA governs dietary supplements in the USA. FTC governs the marketing and advertisement of dietary supplements. Failure to comply with the dietary supplement regulations can result in an FDA warning letter, FTC fines, stop sale, recall, and potential litigation. If you export dietary supplements to the United States it may result in entry refusal and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency detaining your goods. As a manufacturer, importer, or distributor of dietary supplements and dietary ingredients, you’re solely responsible for assessing the safety and labeling of your products. You must ensure products adhere to all the requirements of FDA and DSHEA regulations. Here is a list of requirements to keep in mind for your dietary supplement.
You must follow the labeling requirements, such as nutrition labeling, ingredient labeling, and nutrient content, health claims, dietary supplement packaging regulations, etc.
Having a ‘Supplement Facts Panel’ is mandatory for every dietary supplement to be marketed in the USA. The panel must have all information required by FDA.
