Bipartisan, bicameral legislation would allow Americans to use HSAs, FSAs and HRAs for dietary supplements.
Washington, D.C. – The Natural Products Association (NPA), the nation’s 90-year trade association representing the natural products industry, today expressed strong support for the “Dietary Supplement Access Act.”
The bipartisan legislation, which was introduced in both chambers of Congress, would allow Americans to use health savings accounts (HSAs), flexible spending accounts (FSAs) and health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) to purchase dietary supplements.
In the Senate, the bill was introduced by Republican Sens. Kevin Cramer of North Dakota and John Curtis of Utah. In the House of Representatives, the legislation was introduced by Reps. Darin LaHood (R-Ill.), Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.), Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) and Brendan Boyle (D-Pa.). The bill would allow individuals to use these tax-advantaged accounts for dietary supplement purchases up to $500 per year, effective for amounts paid after Dec. 31, 2025.
“The Dietary Supplement Access Act is a commonsense, pro-consumer bill that empowers Americans to take charge of their own health and wellness,” said Daniel Fabricant, Ph.D., president and CEO of NPA. “Millions of Americans use dietary supplements as part of their daily health routine, yet current tax law treats these products as a luxury rather than the legitimate health tool they are. NPA commends the bipartisan, bicameral leadership of Sens, Cramer and Curtis and Reps, LaHood, Tenney, Gottheimer and Boyle for championing this issue, and we urge Congress to move swiftly on this important legislation.”
Dietary supplements, including vitamins, minerals, herbs, botanicals and other nutritional products, are defined under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The majority of American adults use supplements to support their health and well-being. Despite their widespread use, these products currently do not qualify as reimbursable medical expenses under federal law, limiting consumers’ ability to use pre-tax dollars to offset their costs.
