Get the Latest FDA Consumer Health Updates

Federal law does not require dietary supplements to be proven safe to FDA's satisfaction before they are marketed. After a dietary supplement is on the market, FDA has certain safety monitoring responsibilities. Consumers should consult with a health care professional before using any dietary supplement. WebMD and FDA are partnering to give you fast and dependable answers when you need them most.
