Very worrisome, vague wording. There goes protein powder out the window. And all protein, for that matter. Will they outlaw chicken beef and turkey too?
According to the specific wording of HR.3377, a “supplement” under the DSHEA would be amended to say any product that “does not bear or contain an herb or other botanical, an amino acid or a dietary substance used by man to supplement the diet by increasing the total dietary intake”.
this wording is unclear to me. Does this mean that amino acids are OK or not? Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA?)
As far as I'm concerned the DEA can stick to monitoring supplement manufacturing facilities for cleanliness. They don't even do that very well.

Many makers of supplements have facilities superior to those of the big, expensive drug manufacturers.
I hope that this can be beaten back. If not many of us are in grave trouble unless we can get out of the country to purchase what we need.
