A selection of some of CRN’s recent quotes in the press
“There is a sufficient framework and relevant scientific data to begin the process of establishing standards for specific bioactives. Defined intake values for bioactives would benefit consumers, of course, as well as guide research scientists, funders, and governments—not to mention the boost that quantifiable standards would give to innovation of new dietary supplements and functional food products.”

"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," Mister said.

“The findings of Dr. Pieter Cohen’s latest study are particularly troubling to responsible marketers of dietary supplements because they demonstrate once again that rogue companies will ignore the laws designed to protect consumers. Oxilofrine is not a legitimate dietary ingredient, and its marketers have not complied with the legal requirements for bringing a new dietary ingredient to market so it cannot legally be sold in dietary supplements.”
