The practice of medicine is now at a crossroad. Countless patients are being treated simultaneously with both Western and Oriental medicine. It is quite common for a patient to seek herbal treatments while taking several prescription medications. According to Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA), an estimated 15 million adults in the United States (representing 18.4% of all prescription pharmaceutical users) took prescription drugs concurrently with herbal remedies and/or vitamins in 1997. In 2017, more than 170 million Americans (76%) take dietary supplements, according to the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN). Consumers spent more than 338 billion dollars in prescription drugs, and $36 billion dollars on vitamins, minerals and herbal supplements in 2017. In this talk show, some commonly and higher risk of herb and drug interactions will be discussed. This will help to minimize potential conflicts and risk of potentially dangerous herb and drug interactions.

GMPs (Good Manufacturing Practices) (Get more paper, get more people) systems are becoming a serious topic in the cannabis industry we've noticed through blogs and podcast interviews.

We think it’s important for us to get ahead before federal legalization, which we get into later. Products categorized as Dietary supplements in specific, as cannabis products are going to becoming more popular, we’re going to want more CBD and other cannabinoid combination products, like tinctures, tablets, capsules, liquids, and gummies, and some fuzzy lines on other chocolate things. We dive into all this as well as what can be brought forward and applied into the cannabis industry going forward.

Concern is high, and answers are few as the dietary supplement industry faces the pandemic COVID-19, the respiratory diseases caused by a novel coronavirus that originated in Wuhan, China. By press time, COVID-19 has reached 108 countries, infected nearly 125,000 people, and more than 4,500 people have died. Industries across the world are considering how this virus will play out, and how it will affect their people and products. For supplement brands, special considerations focus on supply chain concerns, FDA enforcement and illegal marketing claims. In this podcast, Jim C. Griffiths, senior vice president of international and scientific affairs, Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), discusses the issues facing supplement brands with Sandy Almendarez, content director, Informa Markets.

Trade associations in the supplement and functional foods industry disagree on a number of key issues, including a mandatory dietary supplement registry and a legal pathway to market for CBD. Brands that are members of multiple organizations may be funding efforts that oppose each other. Therefore, Steve Mister, president and CEO, the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), said it’s important for companies to examine the practices of each of their trade organizations to see if they align with the brand’s values. And it’s on trade organizations to find common ground so the industry can be unified when it communicates with FDA and legislators.

For the third year in a row, three-quarters of Americans reported taking supplements in the annual survey from the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), and consumers of all ages are taking the industry’s newest darling ingredient—CBD. In this podcast CRN’s Nancy Weindruch discusses the top takeaways from the 2019 survey.

In 2016, FDA announced its Final Rule requiring both the Nutrition Facts and Supplement Facts boxes on product labels get updated to reflect new scientific information and to help consumers make more informed choices. Most brands have until 2020 until they need to update their labels, but some have already implanted the changes. This has caused confusion among consumers who question why products have different labels. While FDA has a campaign to help educate consumers on the changes to the Nutrition Facts Panel, it doesn’t have a similar program for the Supplement Facts Panel. In this podcast, Brian Wommack, senior vice president, communications, Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), discusses the update to the Supplement Facts Panel and how brands can help consumers navigate the change.

Since ideation two years ago, the Supplement OWL (Online Wellness Library) launched, and now includes over 12,000 labels and is guided by an advisory board to ensure it continuously meets industry needs. In addition, the Commercial Data Exchange (CDX) portion of the OWL, which helps retailers compare products, has become more robust. In this podcast, Gisele Atkinson, vice president, quality and technical affairs, Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), and Douglas “Duffy” MacKay, N.D., senior vice president, scientific and regulatory affairs, CRN, discuss the OWL’s progress and future. CRN spearheaded the industry-wide initiative. Atkinson and Duffy cover: • The benefits of the Supplement OWL for brands, retailers, regulators and consumers; • The CDX option, and how it ensures confidentially of proprietary information; • The future of the Supplement OWL and how it may help thwart regulatory impositions on the supplement industry.

Total cannabidiol (CBD) sales in the United States are expected to be $1.9 billion in 2022, with hemp-derived CBD products making up $646 million, marijuana-derived CBD selling $626 million and pharmaceuticals taking the rest at $647 million, according to the Hemp Business Journal. These numbers were presented by Stuart Tomc, vice president of human nutrition, CV Sciences, at the annual Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) conference in mid-October 2018. Tomc used these numbers to show the high number of CBD product sales, but also to note that the market splits into three categories: hemp-derived, marijuana-derived and pharmaceuticals. In this podcast with Sandy Almendarez, editor in chief, INSIDER, Tomc, covers: • Why the difference in CBD source is important to overcome legal hurdles • The safety of CBD and why his company invested in self-GRAS (generally recognized safe) status for its CBD oil • Which consumers are taking CBD and where they are buying these products.

As consumers are seeking more transparency in the products they buy, and regulators aim to stretch tight budgets by focusing on the bad actors, self regulatory initiatives can take center stage. At SupplySide East in New Jersey in April, Heather Granato, vice president of content, spoke with Duffy MacKay, Ph.D., senior vice president of scientific and regulatory affairs, Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), about the importance of self regulation. In this podcast, MacKay discusses how the industry has come together around the concept of a registry and what lies ahead.

Many integrative physicians—medical doctors and doctors of osteopathic medicine (DOs) who self-identify as using holistic practices—turn to supplements to help their patients’ wellness. Brands that communicate and connect with these practitioners can find great opportunity in the partnership. In this Healthy INSIDER podcast, Yadim Medore, founder and CEO, and Susan Haeger, executive strategic consultant at Pure Branding, discuss a new study they conducted on how integrative physicians use supplements in their practices. With Sandy Almendarez, editor in chief, INSIDER, they cover: • The size of the integrative physician supplement market, which reaches 13 to 18 million U.S. consumers • The top four attributes that integrative physicians look for in the supplement brands recommend • How—and where—supplement brands can best reach out to integrative physicians to build a partnership. This podcast was spurred by a presentation Medore gave at the annual conference of the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) in Tucson, Arizona.

Supplement use is at an all-time high—76 percent—among U.S. adults, and most (87 percent) are confident that supplements are safe, quality and efficacious, according to a recent survey commissioned by the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) and conducted by Ipsos Public Affairs. In this podcast, Nancy Weindruch, vice president, communications, CRN, dives deeper into the data of the survey, which has been conducted yearly for 18 years, with Sandy Almendarez, INSIDER editor in chief. They cover: • The most popular supplements among the general population and among younger consumers. • The top reasons Americans take supplements, and the emerging importance of supplements that help boost energy • The factors that American consumers weigh when they make supplement purchases. This podcast was recorded at the CRN Annual Conference in Tucson, Arizona. Here the podcast Weindruch and Almendarez recorded following the release of the 2016 CRN consumer survey: Healthy INSIDER Podcast: Drivers for Supplement Use.

Myriad trade organizations represent companies in the supplement and functional food industries, but through partnerships and collaboration, five prominent groups are working together to offer a common voice in discussions on Capitol Hill and with FDA, according to Steve Mister, president and CEO of one of those organizations, the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN). Mister noted the trade groups—the American Herbal Products Association (AHPA), the Consumer Healthcare Products Association (CHPA), CRN, the Natural Products Association (NPA) and the United Natural Products Alliance (UNPA)—are not speaking with one voice, as each trade group has different priorities, but they are making efforts to ensure their messages are consistent. Along with industry collaboration, Mister discusses other aspects of the state of the supplement and functional foods industry with Sandy Almendarez, editor in chief, INSIDER. In this podcast, they also cover: • The strategic endeavor to get multivitamins included in the U.S. government’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) • How supplement and functional food industries can connect and sell to consumers who access their information online • The progress on the Supplement Online Wellness Library (OWL), an industry-led registry that launched just over a year ago.

According to Ahmed El-Sohemy, Ph.D., founder of Nutrigenomix and professor at the University of Toronto, the field of nutrigenomics—the effects of nutrition intake on gene expression—is gaining popularity, particularly as consumers gravitate toward personalized nutrition. In this podcast, recorded after his presentation at the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) 2017 workshop and conference in Tucson, Arizona, El-Sohemy talks with Heather Granato, vice president of content at Informa, about: • The early beginnings of genomic science and where the field is headed • Examples of nutrition/genetic overlap, such as a person’s ability to metabolize caffeine or lactose • Implications for personalized nutrition; for example, in addressing obesity or weight management To share your thoughts, email Granato at heather.granato@informa.com, or tweet to @NatProdINSIDER using the hashtag #INSIDERpodcast.
