When the Status Quo Becomes the Risk: Dietary Supplements at a Regulatory Crossroads

The dietary supplement regulatory framework is at a crossroads. Built for a 1990s marketplace, it has been stretched by e-commerce, global manufacturing, and rapid scientific advancement. Incremental reform and reliance on guidance once seemed prudent, but today they are increasingly exposing consumers, regulators, and responsible businesses to unnecessary risk. In this webinar, Todd Harrison and the Organic & Natural Health Association will challenge the assumption that small fixes are enough. We will argue that regulatory ambiguity—not insufficient authority—has become the core problem, and that lasting solutions require clearer statutory rules that bind both industry and regulators. The session will outline what a next-generation approach to dietary supplement oversight could look like, and why now is the moment to rethink the system before risk becomes failure.
