    If more restrictions were put on the sale of over the counter vitamins, how would some of us looking for preventative medicine be able to continue. Going to doctor for priscrption would cost co-payment on top of the cost of the vitamin. How can we as mass avoid the above to happen

    Huh? I don't understand what you're talking about. I haven't heard anything about needing prescriptions for vitamins. I'm not really sure how they could seeing as vitamins are just things found in food. vitamins are only supposed to be used as supplements, not to entirely replace a healthy diet. For example, I take flax seed supplements. I try to include plenty of flax in my diet but I don't always get as much as I need, so I take the supplement to help. It wouldn't make sense to make me get a prescription when all I have to do to get it is eat more of it in food.

    If the bill 'The Dietary Suppliment Safety Act'(DSSA) passes than what? To my knowledge it includes all supplemental vitamins as well.

    I hadn't heard about that. I'm having trouble finding anything that looks like a reliable source and actually says what the act would do if its passed. Can I ask where you're getting your information? I'm really very curious about this now. But all I can find are republican blogs saying how it will make supplements safer or people against the act saying how its just big government trying to do too much, no actual facts.
