(GNC) the United States Pharmacopeial Convention (USP), an independent, science based, standards setting organization and publishers of the United States Pharmacopeia-National Formulary (USP-NF), an official compendia of quality standards for dietary supplements sold in the U.S., issued the following statement: Statement by Gabriel Giancaspro, PhD – Vice President –Foods, Dietary Supplement and Herbal Medicines United States Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) “As a science-based standards-setting organization, the United States Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) has a keen interest in adopting emerging technologies to ensure the test methods and quality standards included in the United States Pharmacopeia-National Formulary (USP-NF) are current and reflect the state of the industry. DNA testing including DNA Barcoding, is just one example of a technology that has been recently added to the USP-NF. As of December 2014, DNA-based identification methods are included in the official USP chapter <563> Identification of Articles of Botanical Origin. However, this method is not yet referenced in a USP-NF monograph (quality standard) for a specific ingredient or product. That is because USP quality standards are specific for each ingredient, product and dosage form and the standards we develop include only those test methods that have been scientifically validated and shown to be fit for purpose.

  • Nomination Background: Bladderwrack (CASRN: 68917-51-1)
    SUMMARY OF DATA FOR CHEMICAL SELECTION Bladderwrack BASIS OF NOMINATION TO THE CSWG The lack of toxicity testing coupled with a strong suspicion that adverse events may occur in humans exposed to bladderwrack is brought to the attention of the CSWG. Although bladderwrack is not thought to be one of the highest volume dietary supplements, it is widely promoted, especially to women, for weight loss. Bladderwrack is a source of iodine, and it is this iodine that provides the theoretical basis for bladderwrack’s activity. If iodine levels in bladderwrack are sufficiently high to cause weight loss, however, they would also be high enough to cause a hyperthyroid condition. Although there is information in the FDA’s Adverse Event Monitoring System that raises concerns about the safety of bladderwrack, the presence of other diet aids, especially ephedra, make it difficult to ascertain the role, if any, of bladderwrack. Thus, it is recommended that special tests be conducted on pure bladderwrack to determine if the iodine concentrations present in dietary supplements provide sufficient thyroid stimulation to pose a risk to consumers. SELECTION STATUS ACTION BY CSWG: 12/12/00 Studies requested: Subacute toxicity Chemical analysis (iodine content of diet aides vs natural bladderwrack) Priority: None assigned Rationale/Remarks: Effectiveness of bladderwrack as a diet aide appears to be based, at least in part, on iodine Content Concern about the safety of dietary supplements containing bladderwrack if weight loss is caused by hyperthyroidism from excessive iodine intake Concerns regarding possible additive or synergistic toxicities from several components in diet aides containing bladderwrack Bladderwrack 68917-51-1/84696-13-9 CHEMICAL IDENTIFICATION CAS Registry Name and Number: Fucus vesiculosus - 68917-51-1 Fucus vesiculosus, ext.

  • The Effects of Prolonged Increased Iodine Feeding1
    THE EFFECTS OF PROLONGED INCREASED IODINE FEEDING1 FRANCIS J. PHILLIPS, OSCAR ERF AND GEORGE M. CURTIS, The Ohio State University The effects of adding supplemental iodine to the diet of man and of animals has long been a matter of controversy. As a result its advisability has been questioned. Consequently we welcomed a recent opportunity to investigate this problem.2 A valuable herd of high milk-producing Brown Swiss dairy cows in New York State had been fed a relatively high iodine supplement for a period of approximately three years. Extra iodine had been given as potassium iodide, in fish meal and in kelp, and as forage crops grown on soil fertilized by iodine- containing substances. Since in the past a number of studies on the effects of iodine feeding have been conducted upon an empirical basis, it seemed of importance to us actually to determine the amount of iodine consumed daily, also the daily excretion of iodine in the urine, feces and milk. In addition the blood iodine was determined. One of us, (O. E.), has directed the feeding of several large herds of dairy cows in the states of Ohio, New York and Penn- sylvania for the past twenty years. Following the work of von Fellenberg, iodine was added to the diets about 1915. These early iodine feeding experiments were of necessity carried on empirically. Adequate micromethods were not available. Since that time suitable methods for determining the iodine content of the blood, milk, ingesta and excreta have been developed (25). These are now being applied. A preliminary report of the results of this investigation has already been made (28).

    Wan et al. Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology (2017) 8:2 DOI 10.1186/s40104-016-0132-6 RESEARCH Open Access Transfer of β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate from sows to their offspring and its impact on muscle fiber type transformation and performance in pigs Haifeng Wan†, Jiatao Zhu†, Caimei Wu†, Pan Zhou, Yong Shen, Yan Lin, Shengyu Xu, Lianqiang Che, Bin Feng, Jian Li, Zhengfeng Fang and De Wu* Abstract Background: Previous studies suggested that supplementation of lactating sows with β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB) could improve the performance of weaning pigs, but there were little information in the muscle fiber type transformation of the offspring and the subsequent performance in pigs from weaning through finishing in response to maternal HMB consumption. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of supplementing lactating sows with HMB on skeletal muscle fiber type transformation and growth of the offspring during d 28 and 180 after birth. A total of 20 sows according to their body weight were divided into the control (CON, n = 10) or HMB groups (HMB, n = 10). Sows in the HMB group were supplemented with β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate calcium (HMB-Ca) 2 g /kg feed during d 1 to 27 of lactation. After weaning, 48 mixed sex piglets were blocked by sow treatment and fed standard diets for post-weaning, growing, finishing periods. Growth performance was recorded during d 28 to 180 after birth. Pigs were slaughtered on d 28 (n = 6/treatment) and 180 (n = 6/treatment) postnatal, and the longissimus dorsi (LD) was collected, respectively.
