A:
The American Nutraceutical Association was established in February 1997 with a straightforward mission: to develop and provide educational materials and program on nutraceuticals an nutrition for health care professionals, consumers and sales associates from nutraceutical companies. Since our modest beginning at a meeting hosted by the Office of Continuing Education at the Medical University of South Carolina’s College of Pharmacy, the ANA now has several thousand members in the United States and in over 10 foreign countries.
An ever-growing body of scientific research documents the substantial benefits that can be obtained from nutraceuticals. Since our founding, one of the ANA’s most important goals has been to empower health care professionals, consumers, and those involved in the marketing of nutraceuticals with scientific information in order to make informed choices about preventative health care products.
The ANA is committed to providing guidance on nutraceuticals products that is based on good science, and not on marketing hype.
If you are not currently a member, I extend to you an invitation to join ANA. With your membership you will receive over $150 in educational materials, publications, video and audiotape programs.
