CRN Opposes Duplicative Mandates for Supplement Manufacturers

July 1, 2011 By Bio-Medicine.Org

WASHINGTON, July 1, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — In
response to yesterday’s introduction of
S. 1310, the

America, Senator Durbin along with many of his colleagues, have
correctly indicated that well-care instead of sick-care is the
direction that America must move towards in seeking to lower
healthcare related expenses and burdens. This legislation only
removes us from that path by placing undue hurdles in f
