Why FDA Set to Ban Your Supplements
September 16th, 2011 | 
Author: NEWS ALERT… This from Dr. Mercola “The FDA has issued a proposed mandate that represents the greatest threat to dietary supplements since 1994. Back in the early 1990s, consumers were so alarmed by FDA bullying that they staged a massive revolt. The result was that Congress passed a law prohibiting the FDA from banning popular nutrients (as the agency had threatened to do).”
However, things about to chance if you don’t act now!
The FDA’s new Draft Guidance on New Dietary Ingredients threatens to remove some of your most commonly used supplements from the market.
Manufacturers of supplements will be forced to conduct expensive safety studies using absurdly high doses, which will force many out of business—effectively eliminating competition to high-priced pharmaceuticals.
The FDA guidelines have modeled the outrageous safety thresholds after those in place for food additives, which is in direct violation of DSHEA, which classifies dietary supplements as foods, not food additives, in order to protect consumer access to dietary supplements.
Defend your right to continue using supplements by taking action now!

I didn’t realize things were heating up over the whole supplement issue. I get confused with so many options on the market and when they haven’t been reviewed by the FDA how do you know supplements actually do what they say. I think a couple are good to take but people get carried away with them too.
It is really too bad that the FDA would make supplements harder to get to the people. As a Naturopathic physician we give supplements to our patients all of the time to help them with their health issues. They are so effective in healing the body and helping some get off medications. I agree that they are best administered by a health care professional and the truth is that there is a lot of JUNK supplements on the market these days. I always hope for “the best for all!” I will continue to do so in this case. Hopefully, this is because they care for the health of the people and not about money.
my trainer tells me the same stuff. eventually everything will be regulated so get as healthy, well and fit as you can now he tells me. good blog post very informative.
My question is, what about supplements that are actually recommended by your healthcare provider? Will pregnant women no longer be able to get prenatal vitamins? What about iron supplements for those with mild anemia? Are we going to have to buy prescription medications for conditions that could be easily treated by over the counter supplements?
I agree that supplement quality should be better regulated, but there’s middle ground that doesn’t involve full scale FDA trials.

Thats why Natraburst being a SuperFood not a supplement is doing so great~!
The way I see it; the government is hell-bent on cutting expenses which I agree they should but not by allowing the older generation to die off so they ( the government) can cut expenses. If we can’t afford All Natural Supplements then we will be dying a lot sooner because we can’t afford the pharmaceutical drugs with their awful side affects.
Why be surprised at the FDA action? It is working to please the people that they work for … and it is not the people.
