When we advertise, promote, or market Dynamite human and animal products in-person, online or in print, we are required to abide by FDA’s rules. As a distributor of Dynamite Specialty Products you are a representative of the company and are held to the same compliance guidelines as employees in the home office. Navigating FDA’s compliance guidelines can be exhausting and confusing (we know!) so we would like to give you four specific and simple rules to follow:
Do not associate any Dynamite products with treating, curing, preventing or mitigating any disease.
Yes: Magnesium is a vital mineral used by the body to maintain hormonal balance.
No: Premium Magnesium is a holistic solution to treating menopause symptoms.
Hint: Play it safe by staying away from these words: treat, prevent, cure, and mitigate.
Do disseminate relevant articles and news without any judgment or opinion attached.
Yes: Research indicates silver may boost antibiotic effectiveness. Dynamite Solace is made of pure colloidal silver. Click here for more details on the study: http://stm.sciencemag.org
No: Research indicates Silver may boost antibiotic effectiveness. Dynamite Solace, made of pure colloidal silver, supports antibody production and helps prevent infection. Click here for more details on the study: http://stm.sciencemag.org
Hint: Play it safe by staying away from these words: treat, prevent, cure, and mitigate. I know, we are repeating ourselves.
Do present information about known or suspected risks associated with the product. This information will always be found on our website under the products’ “supplemental facts” tab.
Yes: DM Plus™ contains the superb, body-ready, and therefore highly absorbable forms of vitamins and minerals. Additionally, it includes our own proprietary blend of phytonutrients, amino acids, and enzymes to improve digestion, absorption, and utilization of all these nutrients. Caution: This product contains iron. Be aware that accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6.
No: DM Plus™ contains the superb, body-ready, and therefore highly absorbable forms of vitamins and minerals. Additionally, it includes our own proprietary blend of phytonutrients, amino acids, and enzymes to improve digestion, absorption, and utilization of all these nutrients.
To the greatest extent possible, rely on published, peer-reviewed, journal articles; medical texts or data derived from independent sources.
Hint: Think New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, or Journal of the American Medical Association, but we realize there a lot more out there.

While FDA guidelines may sometimes feel like a limiting factor to sales, it is good to remind ourselves that they view their role as a protector against bad and misleading information. Because Dynamite is backed by science, it is easy to speak with people and share information while still remaining in good standing with the FDA.
