  1. Nutritional Supplement Research: Beyond the Status Quo

  2. Overview • Background • What is the Status Quo? • Common Problems and Solutions • Quality control • Dosing

  3. Background • Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA) • DSHEA deregulation • No GMP’s • No quality control standards • No requirement to show safety or efficacy • The Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) was established through DSHEA (by NIH in 1995) and collaborates with the National Center for CAM (NCCAM) • ODS and NCCAM promote and award funding for scientific research on dietary supplements Nesheim, Pub Health Nutr, 1999 www.ods.od.nih.gov

  4. Background Regan et al., J Nutr, 2010 $1.9 billion $347 million NCCAM $370 million

  6. Reality? What is the ‘Status Quo?’ Source of Supplement?: Usually off-the-shelf Verification of quality?: Usually not Dose?: Usually what others have used Kinetics/bioavailability?: Usually not Study design?: Usually good! Data analysis?: Conventional and sound Data display & interpretation?: Usually marginal or poor

  7. Quality Control(Problem - Dissolution) • > 50% of calcium supplements and many single and multivitamin-mineral preparations fail to meet USP disintegration and dissolution standards. • > 40% of melatonin supplements fail to meet USP disintegration standards. Carr and Shangraw, Am Pharm, 1987 (adapted from Table 3) Carr and Shangraw, Am Pharm, 1987; Shangraw, Pub Health Rep Suppl, 1990; Hahm et al., J Am Pharm Assoc, 1999

  8. Quality Control(Problem - Content) Gurley et al., Am J Health Syst Pharm, 2000 Harkey et al., Am J Clin Nutr, 2001 Parasrampuria et al., JAMA 1998 Green et al., Clin J Sports Med, 2001 Andrews et al., Anal Bioanal Chem, 2007 Pharmaceutical Standard (USP)

  9. Quality Control(Solution) • Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) provide a system of processes, procedures, and documentation to assure a product has the identity, strength, composition, quality, and purity that it claims. • Three independent non-governmental programs provide GMP guidelines for dietary supplements. • Adoption is VOLUNTARY Natural Products Association (NPA GMP) NSF GMP USP Dietary Supplement Verification Program

  10. Quality ControlA word about mixtures (cocktails) or “Product Testing” Effects (or lack of effects) observed using multiple ingredients violates basic scientific philosophy. There is no way to know if the ingredients (or which ingredients) are acting synergistically, antagonistically, or if they are biologically active at all. > 100 interactions possible between ingredient pairs; > than 1,000,000 interactions possible among random groupings • Product Claims: • Boost Immunity • Reverse Male-Pattern Baldness • Burn Fat • Improve Memory • Increase Energy • Enhance Labido Ingredient List: Chinese Ginseng, Siberian Ginseng, Vitamin B-12, Guarana, Yohimbine, L-Carnitine, Bee Pollen, Caffeine, Ginkgo Biloba (leaf), Coenzyme Q10, DHEA, SAMe, Fish Oil, Quercetin, Glucosamine Chondroitin, FD&C Green #2 .
