About Asa Waldstein

Principal of Supplement Advisory Group, dedicated to providing regulatory and marketing risk analysis for the supplement and hemp industries.

 

I love educating and supporting a community approach to compliance best practice development and lower-risk marketing strategies, which often change based on FDA/FTC enforcement trends. I routinely speak at conferences on enforcement trends, industry compliance, and the nuances of effectively marketing products in the digital era. Check out my weekly Warning Letter Wednesday post.

 

I'm a Certified Clinical Herbalist (CCH) with 20 years of experience developing and deploying organizational strategies across divisions in the dietary supplement industry.

I've developed, manufactured, and marketed hundreds of dietary supplement products and have helped oversee three FDA GMP audits with no 483s. 

​

Former C-level executive integral in retooling operations, manufacturing, and QA to greatly improve order efficiency, fulfillment time, out of stocks, and excessive labor KPIs while supporting the company during the brisk revenue growth stage.

​

Current Chair of American Herbal Products Association's (AHPA) dynamic Cannabis Committee and former board member. These affiliations allow me to continue to help drive hemp and dietary supplement regulations and compliance forward during this important time in the industry.

Founder and host of Asa's Regulatory Hints YouTube channel.

My herbalism research focuses on herbal therapeutics and identifying and ethically wildcrafting medicinal plants, skills now used when formulating, ordering, and approving ingredients.
