New SupplySide site debuts with SupplySide Connect networking tool
You probably have noticed, but yes, we have introduced our newest version of the SupplySide website. There are many new features, but among the most exciting is the new SupplySide Connect networking tool. Think of it as a Facebook-style system that is just for SupplySide attendees, exhibitors, sponsors and speakers. As soon as you sign up for SupplySide (either for your exhibitor badge or for your attendee badge), you can participate. You get your own profile, and you can use the system to connect with other SupplySide participants in advance of the show. Pretty cool. We also have 3 new market reports (Supplement, Food/Beverage, and Cosmeceutical) available for you to download for free. We will be updating the site regularly as we complete the education program, continue to add exhibitors, and wrap up some other surprises. Check it out and let us know what you think. Cheers!

Will Economic Adulteration Bring Down DSHEA?
One of my colleagues here at Virgo Publishing, Steve Myers, recently wrote an article titled "Will Economic Adulteration Help Bring Down DSHEA?" that everyone involved in the dietary supplement industry should read. With recent calls to amend or repeal DSHEA coming from members of Congress, the Boston Globe, a conservative contributor to CNN, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, and many other influential groups and individuals, this is a real threat. Those of us who believe in DSHEA continue to point out that these adulterated products are already illegal, but at some point that no longer matters. Bad facts make bad law. I've been saying it for years, and I will say it again. The dietary supplement industry needs to address this issue of adulteration in a meaningful way, and it must happen soon.
