The RDA for most important supplements is too low, or only represents the bare minimum requirement to avoid deficiency. You often need significantly more to create a therapeutic effect.

Vitamin D is arguably the most important vitamin for your health. Most people do not get enough, and with chronic health conditions, the need increases. Vitamin D can improve your mood, cognitive function, reduce lower back pain, and decrease the risk of cancer.

Magnesium is one of the most important minerals for your health. It is vital for vitamin D function, energy production, sleep, and more.

You need 4700 mg of potassium each day, and most people are deficient. Potassium can help support healthy blood sugar and blood pressure levels.

Many one-a-day vitamins are unnecessary. They often contain cheap, synthetic ingredients and fillers that do not benefit your health and may even make matters worse.

In this video, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) discusses NSF/ANSI 173, which is developed by NSF International. This American National Standard establishes criteria for determining that good manufacturing practices were followed in the production of dietary supplements.

NSF/ANSI 173 defines a dietary supplement as “A product (other than tobacco) that is intended to supplement the diet and bears or contains one or more of the following dietary ingredients: a vitamin, a mineral, an herb or other botanical, an amino acid, a dietary substance for use by humans to supplement the diet by increasing the total dietary intake, or a concentrate, metabolite, constituent, extract, or combinations of these ingredients.”
Dietary supplements are available in various forms, such as capsules, tablets, powders, soft gels, bars, liquids, gummies, and gel caps.

The Dietary Guidelines Report for Americans 2020-2025 found our plates lacking in a number of essential nutrients, including calcium, potassium, dietary fiber, and vitamin D. So, it is no wonder that approximately 77% of adults in the United States take dietary supplements, with the most common being multivitamin, vitamin D, and calcium. Since many consumers rely on dietary supplements to support their health, assuring the safety and quality of dietary supplements is imperative to public health.

NSF/ANSI 173 is an American National Standard that establishes guidelines for testing and certifying dietary supplements. It provides criteria to assure that dietary supplements contain the ingredients listed on the label and do not contain unsafe levels of contaminants. Essentially, this standard serves as an evaluation tool for analyzing dietary supplements.

The United States Food and Drug Administration (the FDA) does regulate dietary supplements; however, the FDA’s regulatory role largely begins after products enter the marketplace. The FDA additionally works to ensure that dietary supplements meet applicable safety standards. NSF/ANSI 173, one such safety standard, notes that manufacturers of dietary supplements should submit an application to FDA for registration to assure their compliance.

Dietary supplements can be susceptible to various contaminants and adulterants, which can compromise their safety and efficacy, deceive consumers, and raise safety concerns. NSF/ANSI addresses these issues by setting strict standards and conducting comprehensive testing. Ultimately, adhering to NSF/ANSI 173 serves as a beacon of assurance for both dietary supplement manufacturers and consumers, signaling a commitment to quality, safety, and regulatory compliance.
