Dietary Supplement Claims Substantiation Training
The labeling and promotion of your dietary supplement products are the most visible ways that the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) can track your compliance with federal regulations. A perfect complement to “Dietary supplement labeling compliance,” this course will go over in detail each type of permitted claim that is available to you and the criteria for making each one. We will cover FDA and FTC standards for substantiation. We will also go over how to build the substantiation for each claim that the FDA and FTC requires you to hold to ensure your claims are accurate and not misleading, and how you can avoid making implied claims which could lead to regulatory enforcement. Participants will learn how public knowledge of FTC and FDA enforcement actions affect business performance, enforcement/litigation trends, and other responsibilities of dietary supplement manufacturers such as structure/function claim notification.

Vendor Qualification and Audit
This course is designed to give people who want to improve quality in their facility and who already have a basic understanding of the dietary supplement GMPs (good manufacturing practices), the knowledge and skills necessary to qualify suppliers. Since the evaluation of all types of suppliers often involves auditing, this course will incorporate a fresh look at the process of auditing and the skills and techniques necessary to get the most from these activities. The auditing skills and techniques learned in this course are independent of the type of auditing or the standard being audited. These skills and techniques will be useful when conducting internal audits as well as performing audits of suppliers.
