Dietary supplements regulations

Dietary supplement regulations ensure products are safe and accurately labeled. In the U.S., the FDA oversees supplements, but manufacturers are responsible for ensuring safety and truthful labeling before sale. Unlike drugs, supplements don’t need FDA approval before marketing, but any claims must be truthful and not misleading. Manufacturers must follow good manufacturing practices to prevent contamination. If a supplement is found unsafe, the FDA can take corrective actions. Overall, regulations aim to protect consumers while allowing access to a variety of supplement options, emphasizing honesty and safety in product information.
