In the USA: •The 1938 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act had initially required all drugs sold in the country to be proved safe. •The 1962 Drug Amendments required that drugs marketed after 1938 be proved both safe and effective.

• New Drug Application (NDA) – determines if the drug is proven effective.
• Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) – determines the effectiveness of drugs.
• The agency declared that the drug, even though exempt from proofs of safety and efficacy under existing laws, was barred from commerce if any part of the labeling claimed that the drug was “good” for anything, that is, “effective” for the treatment of a disease state.

In the Philippines: •DOH Administrative Order 2010-0008 was issued mainly to inform the public that food/dietary supplements are not drugs and should not be used to treat disease. As the State's main arm in the task of promoting and protecting the health of the people the DOH must explore all possible means to fulfill its mandate. •Claims as to the suitability of a food for use in the prevention, alleviation, treatment or cure of disease, disorder or particular physiological conditions are also prohibited.

The Pharmacist: •Must be able to provide information as accurate as possible to patients who, through ignorance or desperation, may be tempted to utilize such products.•One must be alert to the need and opportunity to refer a patient for more traditional contemporary health care when indicated, but must maintain credibility and lines of communication by avoiding categorical “turn-off” comments such as “it is worthless”.

“Natural” and “Organic”
• Natural – applied to such materials, identifies only as source and not necessarily a degree of superiority or inferiority.
• Organic – applied to “health foods”, implied that the produce was grown under conditions utilizing only natural fertilizers, such as manure, and that no pesticides of any type were applied.
