In the USA, the FDA regulates the dietary supplements under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA) (US FDA 2016d). The FDA does not approve dietary supplements based on their safety and efficacy before they are marketed. Under DSHEA, only new dietary ingredients are required to be reviewed by the FDA for safety and other information. The manufacturers and distributors of the dietary supplements are responsible to ensure the compliance to DSHEA. The FDA is responsible for the post-marketing monitoring and takes actions if the product is found to be non-compliant to the regulation (US FDA 2016a). Under DSHEA the safety of any new product in the market starts with the safety of the ingredients used. The ingredients that have been recognized as a food substance and are present in the food supply or used in dietary supplements before October 15, 1994 can be used as a dietary ingredient in the dietary supplements without any approval.

The FDA’s delayed response—with its life-threatening consequences—is attributable to our woefully inadequate system for monitoring supplement safety. Americans spend more than $32 billion a year on more than 85,000 different combinations of vitamins, minerals, botanicals, amino acids, probiotics, and other supplement ingredients. Unlike prescription medications, supplements do not require premarketing approval before they reach store shelves. Under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, anything labeled as a dietary supplement is assumed to be safe until proven otherwise. The FDA is charged with the unenviable task of identifying and removing dangerous supplements only after they have caused harm.

The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 requires manufacturing companies to evaluate the safety and labeling of their products prior to marketing (FDA, 2020a). The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) investigates misbranded or adulterated dietary supplement products that are sold in the marketplace. The failure of dietary supplement companies to follow labeling regulations could result in an FDA warning letter and, if the issue is not addressed, further regulatory action, including removal of the product from the market (FDA 2020b). U.S. regulations require that dietary supplement labels include a statement of identity (“Dietary Supplement”), net quantity of contents, “Supplement Facts” label with ingredients and allergen disclosures, and the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor with a mailing address and/or telephone number (FDA 2018). The “Supplement Facts” label must include the name and quantity of dietary ingredients in the product, the “Serving Size”, and the “Servings per Container.” However, the “Servings per Container” is not required if it contains the same information shown in the net quantity of contents. As is the case with conventional foods, dietary supplements must inform consumers of the presence of any of the eight major allergens identified by the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004.
