bmart, you are confused about the quote most certainly. I did not make it.
Let us be specific:
The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 ("DSHEA") was enacted on October 25, 1994. DSHEA amends the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act by defining dietary supplements which include vitamins, minerals, nutritional supplements and herbs, as a new category of food separate from conventional food. (no carrots, oranges, and prunes) DSHEA provides a regulatory framework to ensure safe, quality dietary supplements and the dissemination of accurate information about such products.
Pay attention to this part, then will someone else post a product from the AZNT website?
Under DSHEA, the FDA is generally prohibited from regulating the active ingredients in dietary supplements as drugs UNLESS product claims, such as claims that a product may heal, mitigate, cure or prevent an illness, disease or malady, trigger drug status. |
