The Food and Drug Administration have guidelines on Dietary Supplement Labeling. The guide covers a wide range of topics concerning dietary supplement labeling. The said guide applies to together dietary supplement ingredients and finished dietary supplement products manufactured or produced locally as well as those produced in foreign countries.

It covers the entire aspects of dietary supplement labeling, together with the requirements related to statements of identity, net quantity listing supplement facts panels, ingredient listing, health and structure/function claims, and premarket notifications for new dietary ingredients. The dietary supplement labeling guide is projected to address questions about dietary supplement labeling concerns.

Dietary supplements have been out in the market for quite some time now. And people had been aware on the importance in reading the labels. Many have been informed about the significance of Dietary Supplement Labeling. It is important to read the label but we have to put in mind on what are the information that should be in the labels.

The package label should state the name of the products stating that it is a “supplement”, the net content of the product. It should also state the manufacturer, packer, distributor of the product and of course the directions of using the product. The Food and Drug Administration requires that information to appear on the dietary supplement label.

We live in a world that is so full of official procedures that you question if there is anything else the government can find to standardize and slap a label on. Dietary supplement labeling is so vital and I should say it is not something I consider about before. Other than, there are only some things that I want to be familiar with a lot about, particularly if I am using it for my body or on my skin. I believe the Dietary Supplement Labeling system is in fact essential, more than ever for those people with allergies. There are some chemicals and concoctions that don’t sound very “natural” to me. And reading on the label did help be informed of the ingredients of a certain product.
