DSHEA Tutorial: Claim Substantiation
The FDA describes their substantiation requirements as:
tests, analyses, research, studies, or other evidence based on the expertise of professionals in the relevant area, that has been conducted and evaluated in an objective manner by persons qualified to do so, using procedures generally accepted in the profession to yield accurate and reliable results. [Source]
That’s really not very good news as most of our formulas have not been tested by these standards, though of course there is more than ample testing done in China, Korea, Japan, etc. However English speaking practitioners may not have access to such information to be used as substantiation.
