"Resveratrol, CoQ10, curcumin and even many multivitamins could be pulled from the market, and those that remain available may become so expensive that many people wont be able to afford them." I read the document. I saw nothing that supports this claim.
The document contains "non-binding recommendations" about notifying the agency about use of new dietary ingredients. That's very different from a basis for pulling vitamins off the market.

While I don't disagree with your comment about being non-binding, I was quoting from the second paragraph, which is: If the FDA has its way, all vitamins, herbs and other dietary supplements will soon be classified in the same manner as unapproved drugs and synthetic food additives. The results of this change in classification could be disastrous for both natural health consumers and the natural health industry. Resveratrol, CoQ10, curcumin and even many multivitamins could be pulled from the market, and those that remain available may become so expensive that many people wont be able to afford them. Supplement companies that cannot afford to put their products through the FDAs intensive, burdensome drug trial process may be forced out of business, leaving room for pharmaceutical companies to swoop in and profit at your expense.
