Pursuant to the DSHEA, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates dietary supplements as foods, and not as drugs. While pharmaceutical companies are required to prove the safety or effectiveness of their products, until recently supplement manufacturers were not, and the FDA could take action only after a dietary supplement had been proven harmful.

The DSHEA, passed in 1994, was the subject of lobbying efforts by the manufacturers of dietary supplements. After several years of intense efforts, manufacturers, experts in nutrition, and legislators, acting in a conscientious alliance with consumers at the grassroots level, have moved successfully to bring common sense to the treatment of nutritional supplements under regulation and law.
