Save You Supplements From FDA, Act Now!
The FDA is at it again and is out to remove your access to food supplements if you don’t stand up and act right away. The FDA believes new dietary supplements must be regulated just like synthetic food preservatives.
The FDA proposes to mandate extensive testing on these supplements, which would be impossible for any natural product manufacturer to afford, and your daily supplements could easily become high priced drugs.
There is no rational basis for the FDA to institutes this policy on the basis of the safety record of nutritional supplements. Note, however that the pharmaceutical industry would benefit immensely if these policies were in place.
Prices of supplements will rise dramatically if this is allowed and many common supplements will just disappear altogether.
What Can You Do?
- First go to Life Extension’s website to read more.
- Petition the FDA with this sample letter.
- Print out letter and add your own words if you’d like. Fax to 301-443-9767.
- Call FDA at 888-723-9767 and read the petition to the personnel at the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition Office of Nutrition, Labeling and Dietary Supplements.
- Most importantly act now. Please read Life Extension’s website so you are fully aware.
- Send a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to determine the pharmaceutical interests behind the proposals.
- Send a letter to your Representative and two Senators demanding the FDA immediately withdraw their oppressive proposed guidelines pending rational discussions with those who depend on dietary supplements to protect their health and livelihood.
- Send a letter to the President’s Office of Management and Budget as the FDA’s proposed guidelines on new dietary ingredients directly conflict with an Executive Order issued July 11, 2011 that orders the FDA to streamline and repeal burdensome regulations that interfere with job creation, economic growth, and innovation.
