Dietary supplement makers push the FDA to allow peptides and other new ingredients
"The industry has grown tremendously over the last 30 years yet the regulatory framework has largely stayed the same, underscoring the need for updated guidelines."
"Many wellness products don't qualify as supplements under current FDA regulations, which restrict ingredients to those derived from traditional food sources."
Dietary supplement manufacturers are urging the FDA to broaden the types of ingredients allowed in their products, including peptides and probiotics. A public meeting was held to discuss the FDA's criteria for dietary supplements, which currently limits ingredients to traditional food sources. The Natural Products Association requested the meeting to address regulatory uncertainties. FDA officials emphasized the need to reduce regulatory burdens to support industry growth, as the supplement market has evolved significantly over the past three decades.
