At the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), ensuring safe and ethical marketing practices is a priority, especially for products containing DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) or its precursor, pregnenolone. That’s why CRN provides clear guidelines for marketing DHEA to ensure products meet high standards of responsibility and transparency.
Here’s what CRN recommends:
Safe and Informed Usage:
CRN encourages marketers to ensure product labels reflect current scientific recommendations for daily dosage, typically between 5–75 mg. Labels should also include essential usage guidance, such as:
- Advising consumers to consult a healthcare professional, particularly if they are taking prescription medications.
- Stating that the product is not intended for individuals under 18 years of age.
- Ethical Marketing Practices:
To maintain ethical standards, CRN members adhere to the following:
- Avoid marketing DHEA products as providing anabolic steroid-like effects, such as muscle enlargement or increased strength.
- Ensure that advertising and marketing efforts do not target individuals under 18 years old.
By following these guidelines, CRN members demonstrate their commitment to responsible marketing, scientific integrity, and consumer safety. When you choose DHEA products from CRN member companies, you’re selecting brands that value your health, transparency, and trust.
