1. Dietary Supplements and the FDA
Whether you are currently a reseller or looking
to get started, it is important to know about
how the FDA is involved with dietary
supplement manufacturing and distributing.
The FDA, or the US Food and Drug
Administration, is under the US Department of
Health and Human Services and is the
government agency responsible for regulating
and ensuring safety of food and drug products.

the dietary and nutritional
supplement industry.

3. Dietary Supplements and the FDA
To start off, let’s first define what
dietary supplements are.
The FDA defines a dietary
supplement as “a product taken by
mouth that contains a ‘dietary
ingredient’ intended to supplement
the diet.

4. Dietary Supplements and the FDA
The ‘dietary ingredients’ in these products
may include: vitamins, minerals, herbs or
other botanicals, amino acids, and
substances such as enzymes, organ tissues,
glandulars, and metabolites. Dietary
supplements can also be extracts or
concentrates, and may be found in many
forms such as tablets, capsules, softgels,
gelcaps, liquids, or powders.”

5. Dietary Supplements and the FDA
In 1994, the Dietary Supplement Health
and Education Act (DSHEA) became a law
which grouped dietary supplements under
the umbrella “food” group. As a result, the
FDA does not need to approve dietary
supplements before they are marketed.

6. Dietary Supplements and the FDA
It is the responsibility of the manufacturer
and distributor to make sure that the
dietary supplements they make or sell are
safe and that any claims made about the
products are backed by evidence and are
not false or misleading. Have you ever
noticed that supplements have this
statement on the label: “These statements
have not been evaluated by the Food and
Drug Administration.

7. Dietary Supplements and the FDA
This product is not intended to diagnose,
treat, cure, or prevent any disease?” The
DSHEA is behind it. To ensure quality of
dietary supplements, the FDA determined
guidelines and regulations for manufacturing
facilities to follow. The regulations “focus on
practices that ensure the identity, purity,
quality, strength and composition of dietary
supplements.” If a facility follows these, they
are GMP, or Good Manufacturing Practice,
Certified.

8. Dietary Supplements and the FDA
Although dietary supplements themselves
are not registered with the FDA, the labs
where they are manufactured should be FDA
registered to ensure quality and safety. All
supplements that fall into this category must
be labeled as a “Dietary Supplement.” Check
out this FAQ page on the FDA website for
more information about this topic

9. Dietary Supplements and the FDA
Each label must contain the following
information: a descriptive name and title as a
supplement, name and place of
manufacturer/packer/distributor, a complete
list of ingredients, and net content of the
product. Custom Health Labs, LLC is proud to
say that all of our products are manufactured
