DIETARY SUPPLEMENT HEALTH AND EDUCATION ACT OF 1994 The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA) amended the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act to define the term "dietary supplement" and to establish a regulatory framework for dietary supplements. DSHEA provides consumers' broad access to dietary supplements but provides FDA authority to protect consumers from products that pose a "significant or unreasonable" risk to consumers and that are otherwise adulterated and to require accurate labeling for dietary supplements.
