DSEA, Natural Products Foundation Merge

The Dietary Supplement Education Alliance (DSEA) has merged with the Natural Products Foundation, Washington, D.C., in a move that is expected to strengthen efforts aimed at enhancing and promoting the integrity of natural products through science and education. DSEA was dissolved as a corporate entity, but to ensure that its goals continue and the organization’s expertise is tapped, Elliott Balbert, DSEA’s founder and most recent president, along with past president Jon Benninger, have joined the foundation’s board of directors. Long-time DSEA staffer Deb Knowles has also joined the foundation team.
