Navigating Change in Consumer Health and Nutrition

Wednesday, September 18, 2019 - 11:00 AM ET

Commitment to quality is the foundation of good business. But just when you thought you knew the rules, things change. During the last two years, we have experienced the greatest changes in the regulatory environment since DSHEA. It is important to be aware of the seismic shift occurring in our regulatory landscape. And, there is more to come with the latest potential modernization to DSHEA.

Additionally, science and technology are evolving to support industry goals of identity, purity, and potency. Fit-for-purpose testing and how to execute these skills is a powerful tool in winning consumer trust.

Participants in this webinar will learn about industry updates and how to tailor quality programs. Join us to hear more about:

More and more people are experiencing anxiety and sleep disturbances. According to the American Psychological Association, 33% of U.S. adults are living with extreme stress, and 48% said they feel their stress has increased over the past five years.

Its stress-reducing properties have been demonstrated in nine clinical trials on more than 500 healthy volunteers. It is a perfect complement to melatonin and other calming ingredients, and is stable in functional foods and beverages.

Clean Label Alliance: Your Lifeline for a Clean Product Line

07.11.19

NOW AVAILABLE ON-DEMAND

This webinar will introduce the Clean Label Alliance, explain why it was formed and how it is supporting the industry as needs and desires change. The Clean Label Alliance was developed out of the increasing demand from consumers for cleaner labels on dietary supplements. Savvy consumers have made the connection between food as nutrition and dietary supplements as nutrition, and desire the same clean label dietary supplements as they have with food.

However, as dietary supplement makers transition to clean labels, some are experiencing production challenges. Leaders within the dietary supplement industry joined forces to collectively serve producers seeking to develop or transition to clean label by providing support and problem-solving solutions. The purpose of the Clean Label Alliance is to offer assistance and guidance to dietary supplement companies by providing top-of-the-line resources and solutions to efficiently produce clean label supplements.

Understand the purpose of the Clean Label Alliance
Meet the industry leaders supporting this initiative
See how simple it is to receive free tech support
