Statement

January 16, 2024 — On January 11, 2024, the GAO released a report titled “Prenatal Supplements: Amounts of Some Key Nutrients Differed from Product Labels.” The report details that a laboratory, contracted by GAO, analyzed 12 prenatal supplements for specific nutrient levels. The investigation asserts that 11 out of 12 supplements deviated from their labeled amounts for at least one nutrient (folic acid, iodine, iron, vitamin A, C, or E), potentially leading to overconsumption or under consumption of the labeled nutrients.

JANUARY 12, 2024— CRN is issuing a warning to consumers against purchasing and using any products containing tianeptine. These products are often falsely marketed as dietary supplements and can pose significant health risks.
