"I dropped 40 pounds and competed in my first figure show"
About a year ago I began losing weight. I first started out doing a popular high protein diet. It initially worked to a certain point, but I was not seeing the results I was really looking for. So, when I noticed the advertisement for LIPO-6 in a fitness magazine, I thought why not try this and see how it works. I was amazed at the results. From using LIPO-6 I was able to drop 40 pounds within a year's time. I had tried other weight-loss formulas in the past but nothing gave me the results I experienced from taking LIPO-6. After I dropped the weight I entered my first figure show. I immediately placed third and was hooked. Since then I have competed in two other shows and plan to do many more.
All my friends tell me that I am a big inspiration to them. Everybody wants to know how I did it? I tell them a good diet, regular exercise, and LIPO-6. It definitely worked for me and I am happy that I am able to share my story with others.
"I lost 58 lbs. and love my new look"
Words can not express the exhilaration I feel after finally getting rid of all the extra padding that I carried with me for years. Losing 58 lbs. literally turned me into a new person. Without a doubt, I love my new look and I am full of energy. The old days where I felt sluggish and uncomfortable are far gone.
Being a financial mortgage broker I am used to working long hours and putting up with a hectic schedule. I could never find the time to exercise regularly and my eating habits were horrible. I was skipping meals only to finding myself snacking on junk food whenever I had a free moment.
All that changed when a co-worker who was using Lipo-6 recommended I also give it a try. She mentioned that Lipo-6 is the single best product to control appetite and eliminate sugar cravings. She added that Lipo-6 specifically targets female trouble spots. I took her up on her advice and with the help of Lipo-6 I began taking control of my body. Today I must say using Lipo-6 was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
"I Finally Got Rid of my Love Handles and Stomach Fat!"
At first I didn't believe it when a friend of mine, who is a personal trainer, told me that LIPO-6 can help you to get rid of stomach and waistline fat. "Seth", he said, "Trust me on this, LIPO-6 will take care of your love handles, and it won't take long". He knew that I have been battling my bulging love handles ever since adolescence. No matter how hard I trained or how strict my diet was they just did not want to go away. I finally gave up and accepted the fact I will never have a tight waist.
When my friend told me about LIPO-6 and encouraged me to try it I was very skeptical. Man, was I in for a surprise! I lost a total of 43 lbs with LIPO-6 and what is most important to me, the weight came off everywhere around my waist. Now I can see my abs again and for the first time in years my love handles have disappeared.
My friend who knows a lot about supplements told me that the ingredients in LIPO-6 cause a strong overall fat-burning effect. He mentioned once I will lose body fat I will also see a leaner midsection. "Seth, with such a reduction in body fat your love handles and lower back fat will start to disappear as well", he explained to me. No wonder LIPO-6 worked so well for me. I can't express how happy I am about the changes my physique made. Great job, LIPO-6!
"I am like a new person!!"
By turning to food for comfort I had lost control of myself a few years back. My self-esteem was gone and I fell into a depression. I was so embarrassed about my appearance that I would not even join a gym.
Two months ago I saw an ad for Lipo-6 and decided to give it a try. Within a week I noticed that I started to lose some weight. I was ecstatic and decided to join a local gym. With my new confidence and energy I worked out four times per week and took two servings of Lipo-6 daily.
Eight weeks later I had lost an amazing 35 lbs. and went from a size 12 to a size 6. Everyone compliments me on my new physique. They all ask me how I did it and I tell them Lipo-6. My self-esteem is back and I feel great.
My name is Joy Randolph and I am writing because Lipo 6 has been great in helping me lose weight. On January 1, 2008, I weighed 175 lbs and had 31% body fat. I had a goal of competing in a figure competition this year and knew that everything had to be on point from my diet to traininig to taking quality supplements. I've been taking Lipo 6 from the beginning and it is amazing how much energy I have - but not too much to the point where it interferes with sleep. I wanted to share my story with you and hopefully have the opportunity to share with others to inspire them to set goals and stick to them. I competed in my first figure competition on April 12th and placed 3rd. I competed at 140 lbs and 10% body fat. Lipo 6 is definitely my fat burner of choice and would recommend it to anyone.
Thanks for listening,
I was 215 lbs overweight. So I decided to work out, eat a well planned out diet plan and then I added Lipo-6 in my supplements to help me get that edge I needed. In 17 weeks I went from 215 to 154 lbs. I feel great and feel on top of the world. Here are some pics before and after...
Over the past year i have lost over 140 lbs and without the combination of your Lipo-6, proper diet, and exercise I know it wouldnt have been possible. So i just wanted to extend my deepest gratitude toward you all. Ive become a whole new me and have your company to thank for it.
Thank you once again,
Matthew Lawrence Beedy
I just wanted to let you know I have been using Lipo-6 along with proper diet and exercise for 1 yr now, it is awsome. I have tried other fat burners. Nothing has performed the way your product has. I just wish the wife would understand the cost is worth the results!!! To date I have taken off 130lbs. See attach before and after pics. Still going off to buy another bottle today!!
Thanks again, Mike Lupo
My name is Bruce Heckendorn Jr. I am a 31 year old Houston Fire Fighter who lives in Spring,TX. About 10 months ago as you can see from the before pictures, I was a little out of shape. I would always buy fitness magazines and try to get myself to get into shape, and in one of the magazines I saw an ad for Lipo-6. So I went out and bought a bottle. I could have never gotten anything else that would have changed my life as much as Lipo-6 has. Taking Lipo-6 ,working out and watching what I eat has totally transformed me into a healthier and better person. Since the transformation I have made it on the 2007 Houston Firefighters Calendar and been on Local TV shows and magazines. I have attached some before and after pictures to show you what affects your product has had once again.
I started taking Lipo-6 Dec 07. I have been working out for a while now, and kicked in high grear after losing 53 lbs , but seemed to lack the ability to lose access body fat. After taking Lipo-6 and following a training program that included cardio, weight training, and eating small 6 meals a day, I've managed to shed 22 lbs of fat.
Lipo 6 is great, I take and don't have to worry about jitters or lack of sleep, I've literally taken my afternoon dosage one day and took a nap, amazing.
I think this is by far the best in the market, thanks.
I just wanted to start off by saying thank you. I began to use your product, Lipo-6 and I fell in love with what had happened to me as a result. When I began to exercise and commit myself to losing weight in February, I started at 347lbs. After taking Lipo-6, I had reached my goal in 10 short weeks. I had lost 102lbs using Lipo 6. I now currently weigh 245lbs and I feel great. I have attached a photo of what I looked like before at 347lbs and what I look like now at 245lbs. Thank you for all that you and your product has done for me.

Because of major health problems at a weight of 303.4 pounds and 5'10". I decided it was time to take care of myself and loose this weight. Doctors expressed concern and friends of many years were afraid I was going to die. Prescription medication I was on and currently take causes the metabolism to slow. Between 1998 and Sept of 2005 I gained 100 pounds. On Sept 13th 2005 I started dieting with my wife and eating a good balanced diet of healthy foods. My wife lost 17 pounds the first three weeks and I had not lost one pound. I needed more help. I had heard about your product from a friend and purchased my first bottle of Lipo 6 at that time. WOW an immediate weight loss and continued loss after taking your product. I have not felt this good since my teens. This product has completely changed my life. I am 50 years and 3 months old. Exercise during the first 100 pounds was not one of my options for weight loss success. I have two fake knees and 5 discs fused in my back. My weight loss was a direct result of your product and a sensible diet.
I have attached three pictures. The first picture is myself at 303.4 pounds. The second is late November 2005 at 220. pounds (80 pound weight loss). The last picture is May 13th at 165.2 pounds. Since May 2006 at 165.2 pounds I have used Lipo 6 for Maintenance about every 4 months and as of today March 20th 2007 my weight is 159.2 for a total weight loss of 144.2
My name is Joe Mallon. I am 44 years old, a father, husband and otherwise average guy. I am writing to tell you how LIPO6 literally changed my life. In 2004 I stepped on the scale to check my weight. I was shocked to see 256 lbs. At 5'9", that was a lot of weight. Although I worked out regularly, I was not getting the results I desired. I decided then and there that I would get in shape - period. My dilemma was what changes to make. Since I was a regular reader of Musclemag, I decided to pay closer attention to the ads for fat-loss products. I was drawn to your ad and the testimonials from successful users. After doing some research, I purchased your LIPO6 product. I also started to track my food intake, and tried to eat cleaner. The results were amazing! In 6 weeks I lost 21 lbs. This is only served to inspire me more. To make a long story short, by combining your product with targeted training and sensible eating, I was able to lose 75 lbs. I have kept the weight off for 2 years, and still use your product on workout days for energy and to assist with appetite control. I am now a certified trainer, and recommend your product to my clients wishing to lose body fat and increase muscle definition. My 20 and 24 year old daughters are always amazed that I am in better shape than they are. Your product was just what I needed.
Thanks - Joe Mallon
Before Lipo-6 I was 158 pounds, with the help and support of Lipo-6 I am currently 126 pounds!
I just wanted to let you guys know I LOVE your product Lipo 6!!! Mixed with a lean diet and cardio, it seems like a miracle!! Already lost an inch around my waist and im shreading up in just 3 weeks!!
Thanks Y'All Keep up the great work!
Boca Raton, Fl
Hello! My name is Mark Eldred and I am writing to tell you how much I love Lipo-6. I used Lipo-6 exclusively to lose 44 pounds in 15 weeks.
Before: April 1st, 2006 - 230 lbs.
After: July 15th, 2006 - 186 lbs.
For the past year and a half, I had been trying to get as big and strong as possible. In the process, I gained quite a bit of fat. I decided it was time diet down and get ripped! However, I knew that if I was serious - I need a goal. I needed some accountability. I decided I would compete in the 2006 Natural Michigan Bodybuilding championships.
So, I started my diet at 15 weeks out from the contest date. I used a normal 5 day training split. My diet was very strict with the exception of one cheat meal every week. I used a carbohydrate cycling program - 2 days of moderate carbs and moderate protein followed by two days of low carbs and high protein. However, Lipo-6 was the key ingredient to my success. Lipo-6 helped me burn off the fat while giving me the energy to get through my workouts (especially on no carbs!)!!
After exactly 15 weeks, I stepped on the scale the day of the competition. Down from 230 pounds - I now weighed 186!!! I ended up taking third place in the light-heavy weights.
I just wanted to let you guys know how satisfied I am with your product (Lipo-6). I started using it on the first of this month (July) and today (the 27th) I have lost 22 pounds. That's right. When I started using this product I weighed in at 300 pounds and today I weighed in at 278. Now, I still have a pretty good ways to go on my weight loss journey but Lipo-6 WILL be accompanying me the rest of the way.Your product has also helped increase my speed (and being on a varsity football team you need it).
Again, I'd like to say thanks. Sincerely, -Adam Braun
All I have to say is thank you. 10 weeks ago i was obese, and then when i decided to get in shape, i also decided to use Lipo 6. When I combined Lipo 6 with diet and exercise i was able to lose 55 pounds in only 10 weeks this summer. At the beginning of this summer i weighed about 265, now just 12 weeks later i weigh a very lean 205. Thank you for creating such a great product which has literally helped save my life. I would love to try some more of your products so I can try to add on some muscle but I am also a college student so it may have to wait awhile. I would be more than happy to send pictures if you would like and I would also love to be a product tester if you ever need one!
Thanks again, Andy Chelton
I am a 37 year old mother of threewho just recently competed in my second competition. I wanted to let you know that your product worked very well for me. In combination with my workout routine, contest diet and Lipo-6, I came in top form for my local contest. I won the women's heavyweight, women's masters and the overall title as well as best poser. I believe that your product helped me achieve the perfect contest shape.
My story starts January 12, 2006. My name is Jeff Melchior, from Livingston Louisiana. I am a 25 year old 362 pound male, with a new found love for working out. When a close friend of mine talked me into working out with him. We worked out for two days then hit up G.N.C. for the newest supplements. I bought a few supplements, BUT the most helpful thing that the guy at G.N.C. recommended is a bottle of fat burner called Lipo 6. Jump forward to present day, and now I am a 25 year old 298 pound male. That, as great as it is, is not the only great thing about my story. I am married also, and my wife as also been on Lipo 6 and has dropped 24 pounds in 2 months. That is a total of 88 pounds in my household. Believe it or not the story continues. This week alone I have bought 7 bottles of Lipo 6 for 7 different co-workers at my job. They see the weight melting off and I have inspired them to lose weight too. I wrote this letter to whom it my concern just to let you know what you are doing for people.
Thanks more than you know,
Jeffery C. Melchior
Lipo-6 has completely helped transform me. I just had a baby on February 1st. I began my journey towards the stage April 14th and in a mere 10 weeks I have COMPLETELY CHANGED!! Thank you for an AWESOME product!!! I am working with a trainer in the industry and look to compete in Figure here soon. Thanks to the help of Lipo-6, I have the energy to knock out some great workout sessions and have a physique that people can't believe! ( I mean just having a baby and all)
After 10 weeks
Thank you so much!
Lindsay M. Dillon
As a music teacher, I sit at a piano most of my day and after 5 years of that...my body was a mess. I recently decided to try Lipo-6. I started like 2 weeks ago. I have not changed my diet. I've not added countless hours in the gym. But your product is literally changing my body and life. The fat is melting off!!! I feel better and look better after only 2 weeks. And that change has made me decide to push it to the brink and actually watch what I eat and get to the gym more often. I cannot imagine what people who don't use Lipo-6 feel when they workout. I wonder if other people are getting the same miracle results that I am?
Hello, I just wanted to let you know how well your product has worked for me! You product has completely changed my life! I am a 36 year old male. Before I started taking your product, I was weighing in at a whopping 277 pounds and 54% body fat! I used to be in very good condition, but over the years I just stopped. I began Taking Lipo 6 two and a half months ago! I used it in conjunction with a high protein and low carbohydrate, NO sugar diet and exercise 5 days a week. Today I weigh in at 211 pounds and 29% body fat! Simply Amazing! Now I HAVE done the high protein diet without using your product and the results were not even close. I lost weight, just not this rapid, and no where near the body fat reduction. I will continue to use this product and I recommend it to all of my friends. My goal weight is 165-175 pounds and I would like to see 6% body fat! I am sure I can accomplish this goal with your product. Your company and your products are amazing and I will tell the whole world about it anytime! Thanks again for a wonderful product.

I'm writing you to "Thank You" for your excellent products. On January 17, 2006, I visited my doctor for a routine checkup and I had to step on those dreadful scales. I'm only 5'8" tall and the scale read 246lbs!! That was the most depressing moment of my life. Having lost my mom, dad, brother, and sister due to health related problems at relatively young ages, I knew that it was time to make a change, not tomorrow or the next day, but today. I wanted to make a lifestyle change not just a diet for a couple of months just to fail as most fad diets do at some point or another. I did a lot of research that day to better understand what I needed to do and how I needed to do it. I developed a plan to eat 5-6 small meals a day and to put in at least 20 minutes of cardiovascular exercise 5 days a week. I still took in 2000 calories on average and planned a cheat day once per week to allow myself to enjoy whatever foods I wanted. I also did a lot of research on NUTREX that day. I must admit, I was very skeptical about believing in LIPO 6 initially. I paid a visit to my local GNC and bought a bottle anyway. That later turned out to be a very, very, smart move. I started taking the recommended dosage on January 18, 2006 and worked my way up to the maximum dosage after a few days. My body fat percentage was at 31% at this time. I had a long way to go to get below 200lbs. I stuck with my plan and it was well worth it. Preparing my food each night, exercising regularly, and feeling great about myself are now nothing more than everyday life. My lifestyle change is now a success. As of today, May 31, 2006, I have lost an amazing 69lbs and weigh 177lbs!! My body fat percentage is now 13%, an 18% difference!! That is absolutely amazing to me!! I no longer have trouble walking up a flight of stairs, working in my garden, or running around with my 3-year-old daughter. My blood pressure has dropped to normal, my cholesterol is near perfect, and I truly feel wonderful each and every day. My goal is to reach 8% body fat so I have a little ways to go, but not near as far as I did in January. I'm currently lifting weights more and cycling on and off of VITRIX. It's an awesome product as well. My wife is very happy with it as well if you know what I mean!! Thank you NUTREX!! Because of you I now feel great, look great, and am more confident in myself than ever before!! Thank You from the bottom of my heart!!
Sincerely, Noah Haislip III
Lipo 6 has helped me out a lot. It has helped me keep my blood pressure lowered and it also helped me loose some body fat as well. I feel really good and more energized when I take Lipo 6. I exercise alot and I just got into pilates. By going to pilates class it has made me feel really good.
Hello, I'm a 24-year-old male and I've been on your Lipo-6 since April 2004. And I must say that it's great. When I started my diet, I was 325lbs which when I weighted myself and found that out I felt sick. Thanks to your Lipo-6, a good multivitamin, and a diet that consisted of low fat, no sugar and light exercise, I lost 112lbs in a little over a year. I feel great! I still have some way to go. I am now 213lbs and want to get down to 200lbs. That is my goal and Lipo-6 has helped me almost reach it. Thank you again.
I have been using Nutrex's Lipo-6 since 1/15/06 and I have lost inches and pounds! I have been struggling with my weight off and on. This product does work!!! I'd like to thank you for this product thus far. I am beginning to feel like my old self, before I became so large. I had gained over 50llbs over a period of 3 years. I am a 42-year-old 5'8" female. I am noticing better muscle definition in my body and I am excited to continue the journey. Thank you.
Juanita Johnson, New Jersey
I just wanted to say thank you for creating this amazing product. I am living proof that Lipo-6 TOTALLY works. I have been raving about it to everyone I know. For the first time in my life, I have the abdominal definition I always wanted but could NEVER achieve.
I am 29 years old. I am writing to personally thank you for this great product, Lipo-6. I was tipping the scales at 260lbs at only 5'7". After watching a video of our Christmas party I was completely ashamed and embarrassed of what I had seen. I decided it was time to take control of my weight problem. I completely changed my diet, began working out 6 days a week and started taking Lipo-6. Now just 8 months later I only weigh 143lbs. Yes, 143lbs! I went from an XXL shirt size to a small and from a 42 waist to a 30.I am starting to see my abs. I have lost 117lbs with the help of Lipo-6. A good friend of mine tells me all the time that if Jared can sell Subway, then I should have no problem selling Lipo-6. Thanks again.
Jimmy Carr, Toledo, OH
I just wanted to tell you that you have an amazing product. I have tried several of the other products over the years and been disappointed with most. I must admit that I have really dedicated my workout program, diet, and supplementation this time around and have had dramatic results in just about 6-7 weeks so far with your product. I wish I had taken before photos to track and show my results; but didn't think Lipo-6 would work as fantastic as it has. You have a dedicated customer and I am very excited about my further transformation in leanness and definition using your product.
Todd Lewis, Virginia Beach, VA
I have been taking Lipo-6 for about 4 months and have lost 16lbs! I have told many of my friends about it. Thanks!
I am contacting you to thank you guys. I used your product Lipo-6 when I was training for my first bodybuilding competition. I started training for my show at 205 around 18% body fat. I used your product to help me lose the weight. I competed on stage at 3% body fat and weighing 172. I took second place in my competition. I feel your product helped me a lot and I was definitely able to see results from using it. Thank you for a great product.
Just would like to let you know that over last summer (approx 10-12 weeks) with diet and exercise and implementing the use of your Lipo-6, I am proud to say that I lost close to 50lbs of fat. But the best part was that your product didn't hinder muscle gain either. I put on about 12lbs of muscle in this time as well, while increasing my bench by about 90lbs, netting a loss of about 38lbs. Good job with the manufacturing of this product and many thanks to changing my life and health especially. No more blood pressure or cholesterol problems either. Thanks for changing me from the chubby kid I was in high school to the guy getting the looks from the ladies at the beach.
I am 5'9" and blew up to 230lbs. I decided it was time to do something. I changed my diet, got serious about the gym, and started taking Lipo-6. 8 months later I was down to 148lbs and 9.7% body fat. I love my new body. The pictures are amazing. In fact, I was named my Gym's member of the year and was in the local paper. Thank you very much.
Shawn Downs, California, MD
Just wanted to let you know your product Lipo-6 is terrific. I've never used a product that lives up to its name the way this does. I've gone from over 350lbs to under 215lbs and just bought a pair of 36 waist jeans for the first time since 1976 and am thrilled. Thanks again. I tell all my friends about Lipo-6 and hope you continue making it. You've got a customer for life.

text:
The difference between nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals is poorly understood by the general public and, as a result, people are often alarmed when seeing a label informing them that, “this product is not FDA approved.” While this message may be alarming to consumers, it does not mean that products displaying this message are unregulated. Unlike pharmaceuticals, which need FDA approval, nutraceutical products are approved for market by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
In this article we aim to clarify the intent behind these therapies and what their labelling means by asking: Why aren’t nutraceutical products FDA approved? How do FDA and FTC approvals compare? And — how should you market your product? What legal issues do both tracks pose?
Why aren’t nutraceutical products FDA approved? And How do FDA and FTC approvals compare?
In differentiating between nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products, the industries’ rule of thumb is that nutraceuticals are used for nutritional purposes, to promote wellness or longevity, while pharmaceuticals are used medicinally, to treat disease. In a broad sense the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversees both pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, however, while new drugs have to receive FDA approval by proving their safety and efficacy before going to market, manufacturers of nutraceuticals themselves are responsible for ensuring their products’ safety. This difference is due to the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA), which distinguished dietary supplements (which nutraceuticals are a subset of) from “conventional” food products, while specifying that they are not intended for medical use. Thus, supplements were placed outside of the direct purview of the FDA.
It is important to note, however, that there is an exception for supplements that contain new dietary ingredients (“new” meaning that they weren’t on the market pre-October 1994), making them subject to more regulation. But this is not something to worry about if your supplement sticks to using popular ingredients such as calcium, whey protein, vitamin-D (Tricario, 2021).
Nutraceuticals are used for nutritional purposes, to promote wellness or longevity, while pharmaceuticals are used medicinally, to treat disease. Since supplements are not intended for medical use they were placed outside of the direct purview of the FDA.
While nutraceuticals’ regulatory body is the FTC, which ensures supplements are advertised properly, nutraceuticals must also abide by the good manufacturing practices (GMP) put forth by the FDA. These are guidelines for safe and controlled production of products. However, unlike an FDA-approved product, nutraceutical manufacturers are responsible for ensuring their products meet these guidelines - the FDA will audit if a claim is filed.
How should you market your product?
Under DSHEA, dietary supplements, including nutraceuticals, are required to include a disclaimer stating that the product is not intended to "diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease," because only a drug (pharmaceutical) can make such a claim. Beyond this disclaimer, supplements and nutraceutical products can only make structure/function claims, which are claims that describe how a nutrient impacts the structure/function of the body. Claims are regulated by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which is responsible for overseeing advertising; and this is where confusion between nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals can occur because the difference in marketing comes down to very specific verbiage. For instance, a nutraceutical product can state that it, “helps maintain” or “promotes healthy bones”, but it cannot state that it “mitigates” or “prevents osteoporosis” (https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/DietarySupplements-Consumer/). It is vital to understand these nuances when preparing to bring a product to market, otherwise, the FTC and FDA may take legal action against you.
If your product is a vitamin, a mineral, an herb or other botanical, an amino acid, or a dietary substance that has not undergone clinical trials and the FDA’s approval process, then your product is considered a dietary supplement by the US government and should be marketed as such. This means your product must include a statement saying it is not disease curing or preventing, and your marketing verbiage must revolve around health benefits.
“An Ounce of Prevention Is Worth A Pound of Cure.”
Ben Franklin coined this phrase in 1736, as a warning to Philadelphians to remain vigilant about fire awareness and prevention, but this phrase has been applied to a wide range of topics, including nutraceutical products. The analogy is a good one, and one that consumers are obviously buying into given the recent dietary market report. This report stated that the global dietary supplements market is currently valued at $278.8 billion USD, and is expected to grow to $441.7 billion USD by 2026 - a growth rate of 7.8% (ReporterLinker, 2021).
What legal issues do both tracks pose?
Given the growth of the dietary supplements industry, it isn’t surprising that more people are paying attention to it — and many of them want stricter regulations. The demand for stricter regulations is not new, but the controversy has gained more traction in recent years, with the FDA and FTC issuing multiple ‘crackdowns’ in 2021, such as their suits against six CBD companies for false claims, and five companies for selling misbranded infertility supplements. Proponents of increased oversight point to the strong effects that supplements can have on the body. For instance, it is known that excess vitamin A can cause headaches and liver damage, while too much iron can cause nausea and vomiting, along with liver damage (NIH, 2020). This can be particularly risky if someone is taking a high dose of the supplement or taking prescription medications. Not only can supplements have adverse effects when combined with prescription medications, they often can make the drugs less effective. For example: St. John’s wort can increase how fast your body metabolizes medicines such as antidepressants, birth control pills, heart medications, and transplant drugs, Vitamin K can inhibit the blood thinner drug Warfarin, and antioxidants like vitamin C and E can impede chemotherapy (NIH, 2020). Another argument for stronger regulations is merely to ensure supplements actually contain the ingredients they claim to, at the dose they claim to, before these products are brought to market rather than relying on consumers to file a claim if there is an issue.
This being said, the FDA's approval process to bring a new pharmaceutical to market and earn the "FDA-approved" label can cost hundreds of millions (if not billions) of dollars, and with dietary supplements experiencing such a profitable market right now, the concept of increasing regulations is not popular inside the nutraceutical industry.
In 2019 the FDA Commissioner, Scott Gottlieb, announced that the nutraceutical and dietary supplements industry will face stricter scrutiny from the FDA. This means bringing more suits against manufacturers which could result in fines, or court-ordered removal of products from retailers. Recently, more consumer class action lawsuits have been filed against supplement companies, leading lawyers to recommend companies go beyond regulatory compliance to ensure their products are marketed in a way that “a reasonable consumer” wouldn’t find fault with. Claims can be brought for false or misleading structure/function claims, ingredient permissibility, flavor and coloring claims, and nutrient content claims.
So, what is the way forward?
It is challenging to talk about nutraceuticals because the term isn’t recognized by the FDA, even in this article you can tell that the discussion has gone from nutraceutical products to the umbrella term ‘dietary supplements.’ But this is not the case everywhere. For instance, in Europe, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) includes ‘nutraceutical’ in their guidelines, and outlined regulations specifically to regulate these products’ safety (Helal et al., 2019). This grey area between what constitutes a nutraceutical and the regulations for it, can be seen throughout the global market. So first, it would be beneficial to universally adopt a clear definition of ‘nutraceuticals.’ Then, there is the issue that most nutraceuticals lack data, or they do not have a way to affordably test their safety and efficacy. Rather than requiring nutraceutical manufacturers to go through the rigorous process used to screen pharmaceutical drugs, or leave screening almost entirely up to consumers, there should be a third way. A lower cost, less rigorous screening method should be developed for nutraceuticals, as this would protect the consumer, while bolstering the nutraceutical industry.
- FDA (Food and Drug Administration) : responsible for taking action against any adulterated or misbranded dietary supplement product after it reaches the market.
- FTC (Federal Trade Commision) : regulates advertising, including infomercials, for dietary supplements and most other products sold to consumers. FDA works closely with FTC in this area, but FTC's work is directed by different laws.
- GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices): regulations set forth by the FDA to ensure products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards.
- Nutraceuticals : a foodstuff (such as a fortified food or dietary supplement) that provides health benefits in addition to its basic nutritional value” (Merriam-Webster, n.d.). Notably, the term originated from ‘nutrition’ and ‘pharmaceutical.’ In the industry, the term ‘Nutraceutical’ is often used rather than ‘dietary supplement’, as a way of specifying that the product is related to health span or lifespan. However, the FDA does not use the term ‘nutraceutical’ in their guidelines, instead, they are food additives that are GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe). And, is considered to fall under the category of ‘supplements.’
- Safety and concordance with FDA and FTC guidelines for labelling and marketing is the responsibility of manufacturers, consumers can file reports against supplement products.
- Examples: herbs and teas such as ginseng, green tea, echinacea, turmeric and garlic. Supplements such as vitamin D, B12, omega-3, folic acid, and minerals like calcium and iron. Other common ones include: fish oils, caffeine and probiotics.
- Pharmaceuticals / Drugs : A substance intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or more broadly: a substance (other than food) intended to affect the structure or any function of the body
- Must go through a rigorous application process that includes clinical trials to show drug safety (unless using one of the FDA’s expedited pathways)
- Examples: pain relievers such as Tylenol, and Advil. Allergy relief pills like Benadryl, and Zyrtec. As well as, anti-seizure meds, birth control pills, antidepressants, and heart medications.
- Dietary Supplement (As defined by DSHEA): “a product (other than tobacco) that is intended to supplement the diet that bears or contains one or more of the following dietary ingredients: A vitamin, a mineral, an herb or other botanical, an amino acid, a dietary substance for use by man to supplement the diet by increasing the total daily intake, or a concentrate, metabolite, constituent, extract, or combinations of these ingredients.”
- DSHEA (Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act): Signed in 1994, this law amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act; it defined ‘dietary supplement’ and created a new regulatory framework for the safety and labelling of these supplements. Previously dietary supplements were regulated as food products, but under DSHEA the manufacturers and distributors of supplements must evaluate their own products for safety, and accurate labeling/marketing. There is an exception to FDA regulations for dietary supplements if the supplement contains a ‘new dietary ingredient’ — a new ingredient notification must be submitted to the FDA which states that the manufacturer has concluded the ingredient will “reasonably be expected to be safe under the conditions of use recommended or suggested in the labeling.”
- Dietary Ingredient: a vitamin, mineral, herb/botanical, amino acid, a concentrate, metabolite, constituent, extract or dietary substance for use by man to supplement the diet by increasing the total dietary intake (e.g., enzymes or tissues from organs or glands).
- New Dietary Ingredient: a dietary supplement that was not sold in the U.S. as a dietary supplement before October 15th, 1994.
