Dietary Supplement Access and Awareness Act

H.R. 3156, the Dietary Supplement Access and Awareness Act, would increase federal oversight of the dietary supplement industry by requiring manufacturers to register their products, ingredients, and labels with the government annually. The bill would mandate that companies report any serious adverse health events linked to their supplements and would grant the Secretary of Health and Human Services the authority to require safety testing if a product is suspected of being harmful. Additionally, the legislation would establish specific safety criteria for supplements marketed to minors and create public education programs to help consumers and healthcare providers better understand the risks and benefits of these products.
