While there is still work to be done to stop Sen. Durbin’s supplement attack, there have been several positive developments over the last week. We need to keep up the pressure! Action Alert!

For many months now, we’ve been telling you about the biggest threat to your supplement access in the last decade: a policy known as “mandatory product listing” (MPL) for dietary supplements. There are two threats: Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) introduced this policy as a standalone bill, but the bigger threat is that a version of it has also been added to a bill that must be approved by Congress by the end of September, the reauthorization of FDA user fees.

Some recent developments provide encouraging signs that there is significant resistance in Congress to MPL moving forward attached the FDA user fee bill. This indicates that our advocacy is working. Congress is hearing from you, their constituents, that you don’t want more restrictions on your access to supplements.
