(6) DSHEA provides for good manufacturing 
practice standards setting requirements for potency, 
purity, sanitary conditions, and recordkeeping for di-
etary supplements. 
(7) DSHEA provides that dietary supplements 
are to be regulated like foods and not drugs or food 
additives. 
(8) DSHEA requires that manufacturers sub-
mit adequate information as to the safety of any 
new ingredients contained in dietary supplements be-
fore those products can be sold. 
(9) DSHEA provides the FDA with a number 
of powers to remove unsafe dietary supplements 
from the marketplace. 
(10) DSHEA created the Office of Dietary 
Supplements within the National Institutes of 
Health to expand research and consumer informa-
tion about the health effects of dietary supplements. 
(11) The FDA has not adequately used its au-
thority to enforce DSHEA. 
(12) The FDA needs adequate resources to ap-
propriately implement and enforce DSHEA. Con-
gress has appropriated additional funds over the last
several years beyond those requested in the Presi-
dent’s budget to implement and enforce DSHEA, 
reaching $9,700,000 in fiscal year 2003.
