Where can I get information about a specific dietary supplement?

Answer:

Manufacturers and distributors do not need HHS Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval to sell their dietary supplements. This means that FDA does not keep a list of manufacturers, distributors or the dietary supplement products they sell. If you want more detailed information than the label tells you about a specific product, you may contact the manufacturer of that brand directly. The name and address of the manufacturer or distributor can be found on the label of the dietary supplement.
