Panel Wants Tougher Supplement
Standards
Associated Press—January 2005
WASHINGTON - With nearly one-fifth of Americans taking dietary supplements, the Institute of Medicine on Wednesday called for tougher regulations to make
sure the products are safe and do what they claim. The institute expressed
concern about the quality of dietary supplements, saying "there
is little product reliability."
This makes it difficult
for health professionals to guide patients in use of supplements,
the report said. The panel urged that Congress take steps to require
improved quality control of supplements and to provide incentives
to study the efficacy of the products. "Reliable and standardized
products are needed," Dr. Stuart Bondurant, chairman of the committee
that prepared the report, said at a briefing Wednesday. |
