Press Releases

The Council for Responsible Nutrition-International (CRN-I), the international arm of the U.S.-based Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), will hold an in-person symposium on March 5 in in Düsseldorf, Germany, prior to the Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses (CCNFSDU) meeting.

CRN expressed dismay today about FDA’s denial of its 2020 citizen petition calling on the agency to create a regulatory pathway to legally market dietary supplements containing hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) and the agency’s separate announcement that FDA “has concluded a new regulatory pathway for CBD is needed that balances individuals’ desire for access to CBD products with the regulatory oversight needed to manage risks.”

CRN President and CEO Steve Mister is pleased to announce the promotion of four employees – Maya English, Danny Garza, Elise Hall and Craig Muckle, along with introducing Angelo Schildhauer to the team.

Observance of February as Heart Month can be a reminder of the cost-saving potential of evidence-backed dietary supplements to help reduce the health impacts—and the healthcare costs—of coronary artery disease. The CRN Foundation’s recent Health Care Cost Savings report, Supplement to Savings (“S2S”), identified up to $17.74 billion in annual net savings if specific dietary supplements (omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, vitamin K2 and soluble fiber) are used by the at-risk target populations most susceptible to coronary artery disease (CAD). The study, commissioned by the CRN Foundation and conducted by Frost & Sullivan, provides analysis on the risk reduction effects supplementation can have on specific chronic illnesses or diseases, including CAD. The Foundation announced the overall findings including insights on the analysis in August 2022.

CRN celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2023. Each week, CRN will highlight a memory or milestone with a “Throwback Thursday” reflection on LinkedIn and Twitter as well as in its Daily Supplement member newsletter to commemorate the association’s rich history.
