New Durbin Bill Would Change DSHEA
New Durbin Bill Would Change DSHEA
A new bill from longtime DSHEA critic Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) would change the way supplements are regulated in very significant ways and add a lot of new burdens and costs to the industry. All supplement companies would be required to register every product with FDA, including ingredient lists and a copy of the label. There would also be required warning labels on certain ingredients as determined by FDA and the Institute of Medicine (IOM). Also, all products with "proprietary blends" would have to disclose the amount of each specific ingredient in the blend (so basically, no more proprietary blends). There is more, and it is not good. Needless to say, this is a bad bill for industry and consumers. We are discussing it over on our SupplySide Community, and we would welcome your participation.

Not trying to start any kind of fight but I think this bill is a good thing. It won't help the reputable supplement makers at all (sorry ironmaglabs) but lets be honest.....right now the dietary supplement industry is fairly unregulated and just because problems haven't come up yet due to this, doesn't mean they won't.

that is how they want it to sound and that is what they want you to believe, but don't ever think the government is trying to protect you, this has more to do with big pharma, they currently control everything in the name of supplements and drugs. Originally Posted by girpy

So we need a solution (government control) for problems that may or may not exist in the future? Originally Posted by girpy

Dick Durbin looks like he needs a laxative.

Similar bills have come up and never make it far, I doubt this will be any different honestly.

what we really need is a honest, legit, non-corrupt agency to oversee supplements and drugs, our current FDA is controlled by big pharma, its a fucking joke.
