FDA Moving Forward With Guidelines To Curb Misleading Claims In Dietary Supplements.

FDA “is moving forward with new recommendations to the manufacturers of dietary supplements” that will “show what evidence the pharmaceutical companies will need” to substantiate their supplements’ “general well-being claims.” In a released statement concerning the guidelines, the FDA wrote that “It is unlikely that a dietary supplement manufacturer will attempt to make a claim when the cost of obtaining the evidence to support the claim outweighs the benefits of having the claim on the product’s label.” http://thehill.com/regulation/222659-fda-tackles-dietary-supplement-weight-loss-claims
