Unfortunately, the FDA does not believe there is a First Amendment right for dietary supplement companies and they actively prevent the dissemination of such information. Important news: The FDA will soon publish a new set regulations called "Current Good Manufacturing Practice" (CGMP) for the Dietary Supplement Industry. The CGMPs for the Dietary Supplement industry are more stringent than they are for the pharmaceutical manufacturers. When these new regulations are published, companies will be given three years to comply. Those that do not comply will be shut down. It has been estimated that 90-95 percent of existing dietary supplement manufacturers will not be able to afford to comply and will go out of business. This is a far bigger threat to the survival of the dietary supplement industry than CODEX!
