FDA seeks more discretion in regulating dietary supplements


Check out this article: http://t.co/06DO9wun

I don't want to make Supplements go through the same process as drugs to get approved for sell. The article makes a good point about reformulations of supplements already on the market having to be approved and things that already exist in nature being patented by the drug industry and then no longer being able to be used in supplements. This would be a disaster for the supplement industry. I want the FDA to a better job of making sure supplements are safe, but I do not want them to have to approve every new supplement that comes out. Things are being discovered in nature more and more that are beneficial and I do not want them to have to be by prescription only.
