Co-chairs of the Dietary Supplement Caucus, according to an official letter submitted to the Committee on House Administration, are Senators Tim Scott (R-SC) and Martin Heinrich (D-NM), as well as representatives John Curtis (R-UT), Tony Cardenas (D-CA), and Andy Harris, MD (R-MD).
According to the letter, the caucus will serve as an “informal, bipartisan group of members to facilitate discussion among lawmakers about the benefits of dietary supplements, provide tips and insights for better health and wellness, and to promote research into the health care savings these products provide.”
A one-pager of the Dietary Supplement Caucus, supplied to NutraIngredients-USA by the trade group Council for Responsible Nutrition, explains that “educational briefings will be held throughout the year with nationally recognized authors, speakers, and authorities on nutrition, health and wellness brought in to expound on health models and provide tips and insights for better health and wellness, including the use of dietary supplements.”
