U.S.- China Health Products Association’s executive direct Jeff Crowther has been invited to speak on FDA’s draft NDI as well as discuss the overall regulatory and market environment for dietary supplements in the U.S. The conference will also give the association a platform to discuss regulatory measures that will allow China’s natural health product industry to live up to its true potential.
