Executive Summary
ROCHE RECOMMENDS REGULATING DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS UNDER FIVE CATEGORIES: vitamin/minerals, amino acids, herbals, "lipid supplements (e.g., fish oils and omega-6 oils)," and "other supplements." In December comments to FDA on the agency's June 1993 advance notice of proposed rulemaking on the regulation of dietary supplements. Hoffmann-La Roche suggested that "from a regulatory standpoint, dealing with specific categories allows for more precision than is the case when dealing with the broad category of dietary supplements."
