DSHEA: Dietary Supplement Health and Education

While not widely known, "DSHEA" is a federal statute that has direct bearing on the production, distribution and labeling of dietary supplements. Passed into legislation in 1994, DSHEA allows wide latitude in the sale and use of supplements. Supporting and strengthening DSHEA means dietary supplements will continue to be widely available and competitively priced, a benefit to all who make or use them. Passed in large part through the activism of dietary supplement consumers, DSHEA is well worth learning about.
