- Tuesday, July 7, 2020 | 2-2:30pm EDT/ 11-11:30 PDT The Making of a Supplement Claim
Obtaining FDA approval of a health claim requires confronting a conventional research philosophy structured to value how much of a dose is taken, not the associated dose response. This bias is reflected in most supplement research and is the basis of news headlines asserting supplements don’t work. The facts prove vitamin D blood serum levels reduce pre-term births. O&N found a way to get that information on the bottle and in the hands of consumers.

The frequency of adulteration in the botanical ingredient supply chain has increased. The process in which manufacturers reject a raw material for adulteration needs to change, including the need to prevent known adulterated material lots from re-entering the marketplace.

- Thursday, September 17, 2020 | 1-3pm EDT/ 10am-12pm PDT (2hrs) / Testing trials for contract lab partnerships
Supplement brands must identify and quantify active compounds in their products to ensure they are safe, effective and legal; however, many brands do not have the expertise or equipment in-house to appropriately tests their ingredients and products. Thousands of different compounds are on the marketplace today, leading brands with many questions regarding testing lab partners. Choosing the right lab partners is critical to a successful operation. The session will explore:
- How to choose the right lab and how often a lab should be audited
- How to ensure tests are fit for purpose and what standards should be used,
- COVID-19-related factors of increased demand, limited supply and a scaled-back FDA inspection program.
