The Natural Products Association (NPA) has announced its federal government advocacy fly-in day on Capitol Hill, which is scheduled for Tuesday, May 12.

NPA Fly-In Day is an annual gathering in the nation’s capital, offering manufacturers, retailers, ingredient suppliers, and other stakeholders the chance to meet in person with members of Congress to discuss policy. NPA members can reserve hotels here.

The event has become a gathering point in which natural products representatives can meet members of Congress to explain how public policy can help or hurt the industry, as well as millions of Americans who use supplements every day. The full list of activities can be viewed here. Activities include a breakfast buffet and training on lobbying activities, followed by meetings with congressional offices, and a closing reception on the rooftop of NPA’s headquarters, with a view of the Capitol.

“2026 will be a pivotal year for the dietary supplement industry, requiring vigorous engagement from our members on Capitol Hill,” said Daniel Fabricant, PhD, president and CEO of NPA. “On one hand, we face mounting threats by state legislatures to restrict consumer access to dietary supplement products, based on false and misleading information disseminated by our critics regarding federal oversight of the industry. “On the other hand, the Trump administration’s focus on Making America Healthy Again provides tremendous opportunities in the 119th Congress and executive branch to expand access to dietary supplement products. On Fly-In Day, our members will play a critical role in educating members of Congress and their staff on the health benefits of our products and supporting the association’s legislative priorities.”
