Regulatory framework

FDA regulates supplements federally under 21 CFR 101.9 and DSHEA. There is no North Carolina-specific supplement registration filing beyond the federal route. Brand owners must register as a label holder with FDA and maintain a current facility registration. No state-level Prop 65 equivalent applies. All labelling and formulation compliance is reviewed per project against the US federal framework.
