The author discusses the opportunity for pharmacist associated with the U.S. Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994. He mentions that the uncompensated clinical mandates under the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (OBRA) got him distracted and missed the opportunity for the profession. He states that pharmacists are the most qualified to advise patients on the use of supplements.
