McCain-Dorgan Bill could make nutritional supplements available only by doctor’s prescription; stifling natural product innovation.
(FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.) - Ironically, in the middle of American Heart Month 2010, the U.S. Senate is weighing a proposed amendment to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 321) that could deny freedom of access and mandate a doctor’s prescription for many dietary supplements, like purified fish oil, which could become seven times more expensive than it is today.

Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Byron Dorgan (D-ND) have dubbed their new bipartisan bill the “Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2010.” A reading of the proposed amendment demonstrates very little in the way of consumer protection. In fact, the new bill jeopardizes consumers’ rights to purchase nutritional supplements at affordable prices, smothers innovation and places big pharmaceutical companies in a position where they could patent certain dietary supplements and make them available only with a physician’s prescription. They could also potentially reap enormous profits as a result of the bill.

“This bill is clear, undeniable evidence of the strong ties between our elected legislators and the pharmaceutical industry, and it is also an attack on innovation,” said Steven Joyal, M.D., Vice President of Science and Medical Affairs of Life Extension. “This bill aims to further pharmaceutical profits by creating wide-ranging, unprecedented FDA power to reclassify natural nutritional products as drugs.”
