Supplements
 FDA
regulates dietary
supplements under a
different set of
regulations than those
covering "conventional"
foods and drug products
(prescription and
Over-the-Counter). Under
the Dietary Supplement
Health and Education Act
of 1994 (DSHEA), the
dietary supplement
manufacturer is
responsible for ensuring
that a dietary
supplement is safe
before it is marketed.
FDA is responsible for
taking action against
any unsafe dietary
supplement product after
it reaches the market.
Generally, manufacturers
do not need to register
their products with FDA
nor get FDA approval
before producing or
selling dietary
supplements.*
Manufacturers must make
sure that product label
information is truthful
and not misleading.
FDA's post-marketing
responsibilities include
monitoring safety, e.g.
voluntary dietary
supplement adverse event
reporting, and product
information, such as
labeling, claims,
package inserts, and
accompanying literature.
The Federal Trade
Commission regulates
dietary supplement
advertising.
Nutritional Consulting
 A
fundamental use of
nutritional consulting
is weight management.
Weight management is a
gradual journey that
requires patience and
commitment. It takes
time, dedication, and
work. The end result a
lifetime of health and
well-being.
Once you decide to
invest in your health,
you can gain the knowing
and understanding to
take the journey as far
as you want it to go.
You can get your life
back!
There are nutritional
treatments for medical
problems, like being
overweight, eating
disorders, high blood
pressure, and elevated
cholesterol. Many
individuals just don't
know where to start, or
how to implement the
changes they know they
need to make. You can
get individualized
menus, recipes, shopping
lists, meal plans and
support with one-on-one
consulting. Nutritional
consulting can even be
accomplished through the
phone, fax, or e-mail.
