The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and efficacy of new dietary ingredients (NDIs) in dietary supplements before they reach consumers. One of the primary tools used by the FDA for this purpose is the new dietary ingredient notification (NDIN) process. This process requires manufacturers and distributors to submit detailed notifications to the FDA for review and approval before marketing their products. Failure to comply with this requirement can result in the product being deemed adulterated. To assist industry professionals in navigating the NDIN process effectively, the FDA has released educational materials, including videos and fact sheets, that provide guidance on preparing and submitting complete and accurate notifications. These resources aim to streamline the review process and enhance transparency. It is essential for companies in the dietary supplement industry to understand the intricacies of the NDIN process and ensure compliance with FDA regulations to uphold consumer safety and meet the objectives of recent executive orders emphasizing transparency and consumer empowerment in healthcare decision-making.
