We had a great time at the DSHEA Summit in Salt Lake City, UT United Natural Products Alliance and NutraIngredients put together a great event, as always It was interesting to hear from the folks who actually developed DSHEA A few key takeaways: 1. FDA data related to inspections seems quite self-congratulatory when we, anecdotally, have seen a sharp decline in the quality of inspectors. As we know and was restated today, dietary supplement facility inspectors are first and foremost trained for food inspections and “dietary supplement training is available” - if it’s available, is it not required for those inspecting DS facilities? There’s a major gap here when we look towards protecting a $60B industry. 2. Mandatory Product Listings (MPL) continue to be a polarizing topic. I have thoughts (against) MPL but will save those for another post! 3. New Dietary Ingredient Notifications (NDIN) remain a challenge with FDA. Looking forward to Final Guidance here. 4. FDA - and many within the industry - have a limited understanding of the role influencers play in the modern supplement industry. My perspective? If you engage an influencer as a brand, they must receive some type of training and/or guiderails to ensure they don’t overstep when making claims. There’s a massive education opportunity here. 5. As an industry, we outpace FDA and always will. The dominant retailers and platforms like Amazon, Whole Foods Market, etc., and their requirements shape the industry beyond the confines of regulatory requirements and enforcement. Great to hear from: Scott Bass Bob Durkin Jim Emme Loren Israelsen George Paraskevakos Cara Welch, Ph.D. Christine Burdick-Bell Peter Reinecke Stephen Daniells And many others! It was also great to run into: Sarah Burden Asa Waldstein Alex Koves 🥦 Jacob Fishback Edgar Grigorian Caden Carter Israel Zepeda We can’t rely on FDA to keep our consumers safe or the industry honest; which is exactly why we built Qualitas Executive Group. With bright minds like Amber Rowley and Carly Tolman, we are ready to repair a fractured industry. #DSHEAsummit #dietarysupplements #quality #GMP #auditing #FDA

What a pleasure to have worked with some of the few mentioned in this article.

Based on a previous consumer survey, it was found that 77% of individuals aged 18-34 and 74% of those aged 35-54 exhibit greater confidence in supplements containing branded ingredients rather than generic ones. The demand for scientifically proven and clinically safe ingredients will persist, as it plays a crucial role in attracting and establishing trust with supplement users. Consumers are looking to ensure they are getting the necessary ingredients to fortify and manage their health. Unlike other yeast beta glucans, Wellmune® is the only ingredient supported by over a dozen published, peer-reviewed clinical studies. Research validates Wellmune’s unique ability to help strengthen general immune health across all ages.

We were slightly surprised to find this product – a vitamin D-enriched water marketed for bone health – in a UK supermarket last week. Bone health is an infamously difficult benefit platform to promote a food & beverage product on. It is a niche with a tricky target market and – perhaps most importantly – it lacks the ever-important “feel the benefit” factor. In most cases, consumers will have no clue of the status of their bone health, and neither will it be something that bothers them. They can’t see whether their bones have a problem or whether they get healthier as a result of drinking a product like this. In other words, they can’t feel the benefit. It is possible to create value by showing them the benefit, like Fonterra’s Anlene successfully does with their free bone-scanning service, but a bone health water stitched into a portfolio that focuses on anything from energy to immunity and sports recovery is likely to struggle.
