To amend title 10, United States Code, to direct the Secretary of Defense to publish a list of dietary supplement ingredients prohibited for use by members of the Armed Forces, and for other purposes.
This bill, called the PERFECT Act of 2026, aims to improve the safety and health of military personnel by regulating dietary supplements. It would require the Secretary of Defense to create and publish a list of ingredients that are prohibited for use by members of the Armed Forces. This measure is intended to protect service members from harmful or dangerous supplements.
The bill would directly affect all active-duty and enlisted members of the U.S. Armed Forces, ensuring they have access to safe dietary supplements. By controlling which ingredients can be used in supplements, the bill seeks to reduce the risk of adverse health effects, such as severe illnesses or injuries caused by poor-quality or unsafe products.
Introduced on May 21, 2026, the bill was immediately referred to the House Committee on Armed Services for further review. This step marks the beginning of the legislative process, where the bill will be examined, possibly amended, and prepared for a vote in the House.
