     This interview is important for anyone who takes dietary supplements, not just those who work in the natural products industry.

      Daniel Fabricant, PhD, is CEO and President of the Natural Products Association (NPA), the nation’s largest and oldest trade organization representing the natural products industry, including dietary supplements, foods, personal care products and more. Most recently, Dr. Fabricant served as the Director of the Division of Dietary Supplement Programs at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), where he directed agency policy, public affairs and regulatory action regarding regulation of the dietary supplement industry for more than three years.

     In this episode, I am honored to address the regulatory future of the Natural Products Industry with Ashish Talati. Ashish and I discuss what is being referred to as DSHEA 2.0. DSHEA stands for the Dietary Supplement Health Education Act, and it is the law that regulates the sale and distribution of nutritional and dietary supplements in the US.

      Ashish R. Talati is one of the industry’s foremost experts on FDA regulatory matters. He has gained an exceptional reputation for his successful results at the cutting edge of FDA and regulatory law, where he has responded nimbly to changes in the regulatory climate and the marketplace, guiding clients through some of our industries’ most complex issues.
