Executive Summary
DIETARY SUPPLEMENT STRUCTURE/FUNCTION STATEMENT DISCLAIMER, NOTICE TO FDA should be limited to products bearing a "claim that is so aggressive that it would constitute a health claim," attorney Stephen McNamara (Washington, D.C. law firm Hyman, Phelps & McNamara) argued May 16 at the Foundation for Innovation in Medicine's nutraceutical conference. The Dietary Supplement Health & Education Act requires that FDA be notified of products making statements of nutritional support within 30 days of marketing and that they bear a disclaimer that the claim has not been evaluated by FDA.
