Your Supplement Choices — Going, Going, Gone!

How a new proposal will replace the supplements you rely on with standardized, low-quality, one-size-fits all products. Action Alert! Imagine walking into your favorite store or doctor’s office to buy supplements. Instead of seeing a rich variety of products with various forms and dosages of vitamins and minerals, you see a few basic products, many of which do not fit your needs because the dosages are too low or the ingredients you need are not available. This is our future if we allow Senator Dick Durbin’s mandatory product registration bill to become law. Read more.

Glutathione D-Day: June 8

The FDA is once again threatening personalized medicines, this time glutathione, a crucial antioxidant. Action Alert! Your ability to use personalized glutathione, an antioxidant that is essential to life, is in jeopardy. An FDA committee that has already voted to ban many natural medicines is meeting soon (June 8th) to decide whether compounding pharmacies can continue to make glutathione in any form, including IVs, inhaled forms, suppositories, and nasal sprays. Glutathione helps patients with a wide variety of ailments, including liver disease, cancer, stroke, and autism. Read more.

NPA Asks Industry to Sustain Opposition to Durbin-Braun FDA Mandatory Product Labeling Bill

The Natural Products Association (NPA) renewed its call for health and wellness advocates to lobby Congress to reject the Durbin-Braun proposal to require premarket approval for dietary supplements and weaken critical provisions of the Bioterrorism Act. Read more.

“Re-Education Camps” for Doctors?

Efforts are increasing to silence doctors who stray too far from the dictates of conventional medicine. Action Alerts! “More than 2 years into this pandemic, the largest threat next to the spread of the virus itself is the spread of disinformation and misinformation.” These words were spoken by the CEO of the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB), Humayun Chaudhry, DO. The statement is emblematic of the wave of censorship that has been building since the beginning of the pandemic. It is also in line with other attempts at the federal level to gag free speech about natural treatments for COVID prevention and treatment. Read more.

Durbin: Don’t Take Our Sunshine Away!

The “sunny” days of Americans being able to regenerate health with vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin, could be over. Action Alert! Last week, we detailed what we believe to be Sen. Durbin’s end game with regard to his new mandatory product listing bill for dietary supplements: the imposition of European-style restrictions on high-dose vitamins and minerals. For those who care about natural health, one of the most important threats is to high-dose vitamin D. Read more.

Good News for NAC

An update from the FDA shows our advocacy to defend access to a critical antioxidant supplement is working. Action Alert! The FDA recently released a guidance on the agency’s policy towards N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), a critical antioxidant supplement. It reiterates some of the points we covered in an earlier update on NAC, with a key addition: barring any issues that arise during a safety review currently being conducted, the agency is “likely to propose a rule providing that NAC is not excluded from the definition of dietary supplement.” We may be on the cusp of a huge victory in protecting access to affordable NAC supplements.

New Bill Threatens Jail Time for Supplement Companies

Senator Dick Durbin’s (D-IL) bill that threatens tens of thousands of products has officially been introduced. We need all hands on deck to oppose it. Action Alert! Sen. Dick Durbin has launched his supplement attack by introducing his “Dietary Supplement Listing Act of 2022” with Senator Mike Braun (R-IN). This bill threatens your ability to access the supplements you rely on to stay healthy. We need to send a strong message to Congress that this is bad for consumers, bad for health, and bad for the economy. Read more.

Supplement Bombshell Coming

Senator Durbin’s (D-IL) supplement regulation threatening 41,000 supplements is moving forward, and on multiple fronts. We must respond immediately. Urgent Action Alert! For months now, we’ve been telling you about Sen. Durbin’s plan to impose new requirements on dietary supplements. These new requirements threaten more than 41,000 products on the market. If we want to preserve access to the supplements we rely on to stay healthy, we must contact our elected representatives immediately and tell them not to support this policy. Read more.

Virus-Smashing Supplement Combo

More evidence for the power of natural medicine to keep us healthy during this and future viral pandemics—so why are the FDA, Congress, and the President threatening access? Action Alert! A new study found that a mixture of zinc, copper, and plant flavonoids inhibited viral replication in lab tests by as much as 50 percent. Read more.
