NPA Applauds MAHA Commission’s First Report Promoting Access and Innovation in Health and Wellness

The Natural Products Association (NPA), a leading trade association for the natural products industry, issued the following statement in strong support of the first report released by the Make America Healthy (MAHA) Commission:

“The MAHA Commission’s first report dealing with children’s health is a move toward common-sense policies that prioritize the health and well-being of the American people,” said Daniel Fabricant, Ph.D., President and CEO of the NPA. “It was an honor to attend such a historic event and witness firsthand the Commission’s commitment to restoring the health of this nation. Created to reimagine how federal policy can better support a proactive, prevention-first approach to health care, the MAHA Commission’s first report outlines a bold and actionable framework for expanding access to wellness-centered options. Key recommendations include supporting nutritional interventions, reducing chronic disease through dietary changes and supplementation, encouraging responsible innovation in health and wellness products, and enhancing consumer education and regulatory clarity.”

He continued, “Too many Americans are overweight and undernourished, and this report doesn’t shy away from that truth. For far too long, our health system has focused on treatment instead of prevention. The MAHA Commission is helping to change that by championing solutions that empower individuals to take control of their health through access to nutrition and natural products. This report is not just a blueprint, it’s a mandate for change. The NPA stands ready to work hand-in-hand with the MAHA Commission, Congress, and federal agencies to ensure every American has access to safe, affordable, and effective natural products that support long-term health.”
