Dietary supplement makers push the FDA to allow peptides and other new ingredients
Dietary supplement makers are pushing the FDA to allow new ingredients like peptides and probiotics in their products. The FDA is holding a public meeting to discuss its criteria for dietary supplements and whether they can be broadened to include non-traditional ingredients.
The FDA is considering expanding the types of ingredients allowed in dietary supplements. Makers of dietary supplements want to include peptides and probiotics, which are popular wellness offerings. The FDA currently requires supplement ingredients to come from food, herbs, or other traditional sources. Peptides and some probiotics don't meet this requirement, but companies argue that the law doesn't specify this. The industry is pushing for a change in the FDA's interpretation of what constitutes a dietary ingredient. A public meeting was held to discuss the issue, with industry executives, consumer advocates, and academics in attendance.
