A selection of some of CRN’s recent quotes in the press
“This is one step we’re making to take back our industry from the lawbreakers, from the renegades, from the companies that spurn regulation...Our member companies have turned a corner and are fully engaged in efforts to separate the legitimate manufacturers marketing healthful products from the hit-and-run, fly-by-nighters selling quick fixes and illegal drugs wrapped with a supplement label. We need all companies who care about our consumers and the sustained growth of this industry to join with us in this initiative.”
—CRN’s Steve Mister in Nutritional Outlook, “CRN Moves to Create Industry-Wide Product Registry for Dietary Supplements”
Mr. Mister was also quoted in coverage of the registry by Drug Store News, Natural Products INSIDER, Nutraceuticals World, NutraIngredients-USA.com, “The Tan Sheet,”Vitamin Retailer and Whole Foods Magazine
"For any companies that do not take these warnings seriously, we expect FDA to move quickly and aggressively to the next steps available to it under the law to get these products off the market.”
—CRN’s Steve Mister in “The Tan Sheet”, “FDA List Of Supplement Formulation Taboos Adds Ephedra-Like Ingredient”

"Government data show that Americans are not getting enough of the nutrients they need from diet alone, and so consumers, with the help of their doctor or other health care practitioner, can consider dietary supplements as a smart and affordable way to help fill those nutrient gaps.”
—CRN’s Andrea Wong in The Deseret News “1 in 6 senior citizens are at risk for dangerous interactions between drugs and supplements”
“Multivitamins continue to be one of the top-selling products within the supplements industry...It is fair to say that the multivitamin is a product that really reaches mainstream America. When you consider that more than two-thirds of Americans take dietary supplements, we know that many, many of those individuals are using multivitamins as an insurance policy to fill nutrient gaps.”
—CRN’s Duffy MacKay in Nutritional Outlook, “Making Over the Multivitamin”
