Dear John,

Get ready to embark on a journey through the past, present, and future of the US dietary supplements industry at the DSHEA at 30 Summit, hosted by NutraIngredients-USA in association with the United Natural Products Alliance (UNPA). This landmark event will take place at the Hyatt Regency in Salt Lake City on Monday, June 10, 2024, from 8:30am to 2:00pm.

The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) marked the birth of the modern dietary supplement industry: It clearly stated that dietary supplements were a sub-class of food and that dietary ingredients are not food additives. It created a framework for innovation and the development of New Dietary Ingredients (NDI). It outlined the need for quality standards (cGMPs).

The law opened the gates to 30 years of growth, going from 4,000 products and $4 billion in 1994 to 100,000+ products and an estimated value of $60 billion today. DSHEA has stood the test of time, but it isn’t perfect and not without its critics and opponents.

Here's what you can expect:

THEN: Explore the origins of DSHEA with our panel of experts who were there during its creation. Learn about the driving forces behind the law, the key figures involved, and the compromises made to establish this industry-defining legislation.

NOW: Assess the current state of the industry and how DSHEA holds up amidst rapid scientific and technological advancements. Get a report card for the industry and analyze the immediate effects of the FDA's reorganization on dietary supplements.

NEXT: Look ahead to the future of dietary supplement regulation. Discuss areas that need modernization, strategies for strengthening federal enforcement, and initiatives to address the challenges of the next 30 years.

Download the Advance Program for a sneak peek at what's in store and don't miss out on this exclusive opportunity to hear from industry pioneers, regulators, and key stakeholders.

Book your ticket and join us as we illuminate the past, elevate the present, and shape the future of dietary supplements.

I look forward to welcoming you to Salt Lake City and together. Let's celebrate 30 years of DSHEA and chart a course for the decades to come!
