The
AHPA Congress on
NDIs will sift through the clutter, the hype and unanswered questions on
NDIs to provide clarity and help industry companies answer the following questions:
- How would the FDA draft guidance on NDIs--if it is not amended--affect your business and the kind of products that you sell?
- What specific sections of FDA's draft need to change to protect consumer access to a broad range of supplements?
- Should your company file comments to try to change the FDA draft guidance?
- What should your comments--and those from AHPA--tell FDA?
- Do you need to file NDIs for your particular class of ingredients and/or products?
- Exactly how do you do that?
- The AHPA Congress on NDIs is geared to all companies that rely on new products and product innovation and whose products fall under the regulatory framework created by the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA).
