Some vitamin and dietary supplements are sporting a new certification seal from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) designated representative in hopes of assuring consumers that the product lives up to its ingredient labeling claims.
The United States Pharmacopeia (USP), an independent agency that serves as the government’s official compendium for dietary supplement standards, has begun to issue the certification on hundreds of products that it has independently tested as part of its Dietary Supplement Verification Program (DSVP). This new program is voluntary and open to all manufacturers of dietary supplements operating in the U.S., a $17-billion-a-year market that includes vitamins, minerals, herbs, botanicals, and sports supplements sold over the counter and consumed by two of every three Americans.
