Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) Regulations mandated manufacturers to evaluate supplements for purity, strength, and composition. The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) established labeling and safety requirements for dietary supplements, but does not require manufacturers to evaluate their products for purity or potency. The Division of Dietary Supplement Programs is a division within the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that oversees compliance with dietary supplement regulations, but does not set the standards for purity or potency. The Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences sets recommended dietary allowances for nutrients but does not regulate supplement manufacturing.
