Washington, D.C., August 12, 2014—The Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), the dietary supplement industry’s leading trade association, today announced the agenda for The Workshop: CRN’s Day of Science, taking place Nov. 5 at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel, in Dana Point, California. The Workshop presents a full day of focused scientific sessions, preceding The Conference: CRN’s Annual Symposium for the Dietary Supplement Industry, Nov. 5–8.
“The Workshop has earned a respected reputation for bringing together experts to provide balanced perspectives on scientific topics of high interest to supplement and functional food industry executives,” said Duffy MacKay, N.D., senior vice president, scientific and regulatory affairs, CRN. “And we’re really excited about this year’s lineup, which includes sessions on bioactives, probiotics, folic acid, and supplements that can support healthy sleep. We’ll also explore opportunities and challenges for dietary supplements in the military, and the future of diabetes care from an integrative healthcare practitioner’s perspective.”
Dr. MacKay noted the sessions would also explore research methods, such as randomized control trials, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews used to support claims made for supplements.
