PERFECT Act of 2026

In plain language: This bill requires the Department of Defense to update its supplement safety programs to help service members avoid using prohibited dietary ingredients. It directs the military to improve its safety website with better search tools, label-scanning technology, and ingredient alerts, while ensuring base retail stores do not sell banned items. Additionally, the military must incorporate supplement safety into standard training and track how many troops face administrative separation or disciplinary actions for supplement violations.
