Demystifying 'FDA Approval' Claims
A common question asked by consumers is whether a supplement is 'FDA approved.' Under federal law, the FDA certifies prescription pharmaceuticals, not dietary supplements. Any supplement claiming to be 'FDA approved' is making a deceptive, illegal claim.
The Power of cGMP Facility Certification
While supplements are not approved prior to sale, they are strictly governed by Current Good Manufacturing Practices (21 CFR Part 111). These regulations require rigorous sanitation, raw ingredient identity testing, batch tracking, and third-party laboratory verification.
FDA & FTC Post-Market Enforcement
The FDA actively monitors adverse event reports and conducts random inspections of production facilities, while the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) prosecutes misleading advertising claims.
