Thank you for your outstanding efforts to protect consumer access to safe, effective and affordable dietary supplements, including DHEA.

You and other supporters are making an important difference in the battle to save our supplements, delivering over 71,000 emails and letters to elected officials in recent weeks urging Congress to protect your access to DHEA. When Congress returns from its August recess on September 6, harmful legislation to take away your access to DHEA as well as positive legislation will again be considered by the House and Senate. We will continue to monitor these legislative developments and keep you apprised when your action is needed.

Currently, S. 1137, the bill that would classify DHEA as an anabolic steroid and remove it from the marketplace, has been referred to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary with four co-sponsors (Learn more about S. 1137.) House legislation, H.R. 3156, would place dietary supplements under unprecedented scrutiny - subjecting long trusted dietary supplements to burdensome new regulations and in some cases oversight similar to what is required for prescription drugs. This measure has been referred to the Health Subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, and currently has three co-sponsors. (Learn more about H.R. 3156.)

While your Members of Congress are home in their districts, it is a good time to visit with them and their staff about these important issues. Here's how you can help:

(1) Phone or schedule a visit with your Senators and Representative in the district.

Visit our call alert to identify your Members and find their district office telephone numbers and addresses, as well as talking points for your phone call, and a feedback form.

We'd like to hear about your experience -- after you speak with your Members by telephone or in-person, please use the feedback form provided to let us know about your contact.

(2) Put an SOS On Your Site

If you have a Website or personal home page, show your support by posting our Websticker.

On behalf of SaveOurSupplements.org, thank you again for taking action to protect our access to safe, effective and affordable dietary supplements.
