The US Food and Drug Authority (FDA) is responsible for overseeing all food, drink, cosmetics and drugs that make it into the market. The FDA is also responsible for regulating dietary supplements and making sure the ingredients comply with the rules dictated in the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994.

Under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, it is the manufacturer that is responsible for making sure the supplements they are selling are safe for consumption and produce no serious side effects in the consumer before it is marketed.

If any supplement is found containing harmful ingredients, misleading labeling or false advertising, the FDA holds full authority to take legal action against the manufacturer.

The branch of the FDA known as The Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition regulates all matters pertaining to the production, marketing and distribution of dietary supplements in the US. The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act requires industries to notify the FDA regarding the statement on the label no later than 30 days after the first marketing of the supplement.
