A new website launched by the Natural Products Association (NPA) will offer new features and resources exclusively for members, including a warning letter database, searchable disease claims database, Pre-DSHEA (Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994) ODI (old dietary ingredient) list, Red-Flagged Ingredients database, and educational and regulatory resources.  In addition, NPA is working on a searchable new dietary ingredient (NDI) database.

“This is another example of the exceptional value NPA provides for its members and why we are the premier association for the natural products industry,” said Dan Fabricant, PhD, president and CEO of NPA. “The new website encompasses everything we do as an association: advocacy, education, exclusive resources for our members, all coming together to support our mission of giving consumers access to affordable and safe products that support their health. We’ve taken a lot of steps to modernize the association since updating the bylaws and reorganizing the board, and the new and improved website is part of that process.

Visitors to NPA’s new website can also access:

• New tools for contacting elected officials at the state, local and national levels;
• Recent news and membership communications;
• Information about NPA’s certification programs, including the Natural Seal Personal Care, Natural Seal Home Care, Informed Choice, GMP (good manufacturing practice) Program, and the TruLabel Program;
• Regulatory and industry seminars and webinars; and
• New resources and information including an extensive summary and history on how dietary supplements became regulated in the United States and a toolkit for retailer staff.
