CHPA backs new dietary guidelines
WASHINGTON – The Consumer Healthcare Products Association (CHPA) today issued a statement acknowledging the release of the 2026-2030 Dietary Guidelines and praising the Trump Administration’s efforts to improve public health through nutrition guidance.
“The Dietary Guidelines continue to serve as an important resource for federal nutrition programs, health professionals, and American consumers, providing insight into how dietary practices can support overall health at every stage of life and identifying key nutritional needs and areas where gaps persist.
“Consistent with previous editions of the Guidelines, CHPA welcomes the continued recognition that dietary supplements play a complementary role in helping individuals meet nutrient needs when diet alone is insufficient, particularly during key life stages or for vulnerable populations. With approximately 75% of Americans not consuming enough nutrient-dense fruits and vegetables, gaps in dietary intake remain a persistent public health challenge. Longstanding public health examples, such as folic acid supplementation for pregnant women or those who may become pregnant, demonstrate how supplementation can support nutrient adequacy when dietary intake falls short.
“As representatives of the self-care industry, CHPA’s focus remains on the role supplements can play in supporting healthy dietary patterns and filling nutrient gaps. We are reviewing the Guidelines closely and look forward to continued engagement with policymakers, the Administration, and industry experts as implementation moves forward, consistent with the scope of nutrition guidance.
“CHPA is committed to advancing responsible self-care and ensuring consumers have access to safe and trusted dietary supplement products that support Americans’ overall health and wellness by helping them meet nutrient needs.”
