Dietary Supplements
Have you ever asked yourself if the dietary supplements you take every day, are doing you any good ? Or if the cosmetics you use are safe for its intended purpose ? You are not alone ….
Dietary supplements are products that are intended to supplement the diet and that contain one or more dietary ingredients. Dietary ingredients can be vitamins, minerals, herbs, botanicals, amino acids, enzymes, and other substances. Dietary supplements (DS) are not considered to be drugs, and they do not require premarket approval by the FDA.
Cosmetics are products that are intended to cleanse, beautify, promote attractiveness, or alter the appearance of the human body. Cosmetics include products such as soaps, shampoos, conditioners, deodorants, makeup, nail polish, and hair dyes. Cosmetics (CS) are also not considered to be drugs, and they do not require premarket approval by the FDA.
The FDA regulates dietary supplements and cosmetics under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA). The FDCA gives the FDA the authority to:
- Set standards for the safety of dietary supplements and cosmetics.
- Require that dietary supplements and cosmetics be labeled accurately and truthfully.
- Take action against dietary supplements and cosmetics that are unsafe or that are mislabeled.
The FDA enforces the FDCA through a variety of activities, including:
- Inspecting dietary supplement and cosmetic manufacturing facilities.
- Sampling and testing dietary supplements and cosmetics.
- Reviewing dietary supplement and cosmetic labeling.
- Investigating complaints about dietary supplements and cosmetics.
- Taking enforcement action against dietary supplements and cosmetics that are unsafe or that are mislabeled.
The FDA’s regulation of dietary supplements and cosmetics is designed to protect consumers from unsafe products and to ensure that consumers have access to accurate and truthful information about these products.
The fact, that Dietary Supplements & Cosmetics aren’t considered drugs, thus not requiring Premarket Approval, sets them apart in terms of the ability of the FDA to determine the safety and effectiveness of the products to meet its intended use. It is then up to us, the consumers, to find out which products out there better meet our needs.
