The dietary supplement and nutrition industry has faced challenges from the media, from regulators and from consumers around the safety and efficacy of dietary supplements and natural health products. This has spurred a move toward more self-regulatory efforts designed to address concerns and build a stronger, more robust industry that can truly deliver on the promise of products that benefit health. The panel will highlight some recent initiatives, how they are impacting industry stakeholders, and the interconnections that could affect timing and responsiveness.
