      <description><![CDATA[In the not-so-distant past, the natural products industry and the community of naturopathic doctors in the United States were intertwined and herbal extracts, vitamins and nutritional supplements were part of a broader philosophy rather than a separate commercial category. Bastyr University, located on 51 acres surrounded by Saint Edward State Park outside of Seattle, is one of the clearest examples of where the two overlapped. Founded in 1978 around a kitchen table, it became the first nationally accredited naturopathic medical school in the United States and the first to create an institutional bridge between natural medicine and the emerging natural products industry. Nearly 40 years later, natural products have ballooned into a $60 billion dietary supplement industry, but Bastyr is fighting to keep its legacy alive.]]></description>

      <dc:creator><![CDATA[Stephen Daniells]]></dc:creator>
      <description><![CDATA[NOW’s recent testing of oregano oil supplements sold on Amazon found that nearly two-thirds of the 35 brands tested failed to meet label claims for carvacrol, the key active ingredient, with some brands showing no detectable levels at all. The company highlighted the importance of using validated HPLC methods for accurate potency testing, as less specific tests can produce misleading results. Many of the failing products appeared to be from contract or private label manufacturers, raising broader concerns about quality control across the supply chain. NOW plans to share their findings with Amazon and continue advocating for higher testing standards in the supplement industry.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[A randomized pilot study in Poland found that a chewable supplement containing a non-viable Lactobacillus salivarius strain (HM-6 Paradens) reduced levels of tooth decay-causing bacteria in children aged 3 to 6. Children who received the postbiotic supplement for two weeks showed decreased levels of harmful bacteria and increased levels of beneficial Streptococcus spp., while the control group, which only received parental oral hygiene guidance, saw some benefits as well. Both groups also experienced reductions in pathogenic yeast associated with tooth decay. The findings suggest that integrating supervised oral hygiene with postbiotic supplements may help prevent early childhood caries, though further research is needed to clarify the mechanisms of action.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[At the Sports & Active Nutrition Summit, legal expert Rend Al‑Mondhiry warned that state-level regulations and class actions are creating new challenges for dietary supplement brands, as proposals regarding labeling, ingredient restrictions and warning requirements increasingly originate in state legislatures rather than at the federal level. This patchwork of state laws complicates national compliance, especially as litigation targeting “natural” or “artificial” flavor claims and unsubstantiated protein content rises. Lawsuits over trace contaminants like heavy metals and PFAS further heighten risk, particularly when broad quality claims are made. Al‑Mondhiry advised brands to scrutinize marketing language and voluntary statements to minimize liability in this complex regulatory environment.]]></description>
