**EMERGENCY POST**
Dear readers or anyone that reads this on occasion. Our supplements are under attack. Please read this quick excerpt and follow the link at the bottom of this post.
This effects everyone in the industry from end users, manufacturers, and retailers.
************************************************************************************
On February 4, 2010, Senators John McCain and Byron Dorgan introduced S.3002, the “Dietary Supplement Safety Act.” This legislation would mandate thatevery dietary supplement would have to go through a brand new process of government review in order to stay on the market.
If this bill becomes law your health care choices will be drastically reduced, andmany of the supplements available today will become illegal. This and other provisions of this misguided legislation affect ALL dietary supplements, including vitamins, minerals, herbs, sports, and diet products.
The supposed purpose of the bill is to make dietary supplements “safer,” which is ironic because dietary supplements already have an excellent safety record. It also ignores the fact that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration already have the powers they need to police the market.
We will also be posting the address to people on our blog tomorrow. Everyone needs to send a message to our legislators that limiting our health care choices so they can get campaign contributions from the drug companies is not acceptable to us.
Thank you very much. Like I said this effects everyone from the makers to the users.
