The FDA can't even require thatbe effective before they are sold.

With Kennedy now in the driver's seat, the industry will likely expect more.

Industry aims to make bolder health claims for its products and get the government, private insurers, and flexible spending accounts to pay for supplements.

The Alliance for Natural Health hopes Kennedy will enable companies to make expanded marketing claims based on evidence from non-FDA sources.

Kennedy has also called for relaxing the strictures on psychedelic drugs, which interest some veterans as potential remedies for PTSD .

The push for less onerous standards on supplements and psychedelics would come while Kennedy is demanding "gold-standard science".
