Mister’s critiques of the agency's content included:
- An overemphasis on the potential risks of taking supplements while downplaying the benefits
- Missed opportunities to address public health issues with responsible supplement usage
- A lack of communication on the robust regulatory framework already in place giving the agency authority over supplements, leaving a misimpression that regulation is inadequate
- The current content could be enhanced by collaboration with the industry through CRN in developing future messaging
