Loren Israelsen covers key priorities and challenges for the dietary supplement industry, as outlined by the United Natural Products Alliance (UNPA). The main points include:
1. US-China relationship: Declining communication and understanding between the two countries, affecting the industry's supply chain.
2. Misinformation and censorship: Concerns about the impact of online platforms' policies on health-related information.
3. Apex nutrients: Identifying critical nutrients that could disrupt multiple industries if supply is compromised.
4. Industry initiatives: The "Q Suite" program to educate new executives about quality and regulatory issues, and efforts to update the Old Dietary Ingredient (ODI) list.
5. Industry ownership and leadership: Concerns about changing motivations as venture capital and large consumer goods companies enter the market.
6. Unifying the industry's voice: Challenges in presenting a unified front to policymakers and the public.
Loren also mentions an upcoming presentation on the history of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) and the importance of maintaining consumer trust. The presentation emphasizes the need for the industry to address these challenges while preserving its core values and connection with consumers.
