response: Well now that the DSHEA went into effect, Bodybuilding supplement no longer have to go through the FDA before distributing the product.
history: Hi! I'm looking for a bodybuilding supplement to add to my diet. Some guys at the gym recommended that I try one. Do you know anything about these supplements? I don't know of any supplements, but the ancient Greek athletes would just eat lots of meat and drink lots of wine. Oh, for the protein?! I guess that's what I should look for in the supplement then, lots of protein! There was a bodybuilder in the 1910s named Eugen Sandow who advocated dietary control as a way to enhance the growth of muscles. Oh, I see. Are there any laws regarding supplements in the US? Yes, in 1994 an act abbreviated DSHEA was singed into law. Does that mean that they are regulated by the FDA?
knowledge: Under DSHEA, responsibility for determining the safety of the dietary supplements changed from government to the manufacturer and supplements no longer required approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before distributing product.
