How can I find out if an over the counter vitamin is approved by the FDA?

Question

I was told to look for the "DIN number" on the bottle but I don't know which number that is...

Answer 1

Ask the Pharmacist to help You!!!

That is what they are there for....if there is one available where you are purchasing these vitamins!

If not research it on the internet!

Answer 2

The FDA does not approve or deny otc vitamins, as they're considered supplements. As long as the ingredients and nutritional values are listed on the package, it can be sold. No approval, no safety and efficacy studies as those are what "approval" and "FDA" conventionally mean.
