Guidelines that determine the maximum levels of pyrrolizidine alkaloids permitted in dietary supplements take effect this week, in the latest regulatory action that stretches back to 2011.
Food Supplements Europe (FSE) has made available a series of recommendations aimed at growers and botanical collectors to reduce the presence of Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids (PA) in food supplements.
An upcoming symposium will explore the toxicology, pharmacokinetics, analysis, and regulatory perspectives of pyrrolizidine alkaloids, toxic compounds that may be found in food and herbal products.
