Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994

Summary

Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1993 - Amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to define a "dietary supplement" as a food for special dietary use that includes a vitamin, a mineral, an herb, an amino acid, or another ingredient used to supplement the diet by increasing total dietary intake. Excludes a dietary supplement from the definition of the term "drug" and the term "food additive". Deems a dietary supplement adulterated if it presents a substantial and unreasonable risk of illness or injury.

Prohibits such value from being less than the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance. Deems a dietary supplement misbranded unless it meets specified guidelines. Establishes an Office of Dietary Supplements within the National Institutes of Health. Authorizes appropriations.
