Many supplements are going to be banned in the UK

Food supplement and vitamin restrictions to go ahead, following European court ruling

Plans to ban certain food supplements and place upper limits on vitamin doses in supplements are to go ahead in August.

Campaigners opposed to the changes have been seeking a High Court order against UK legislative changes to implement restrictions arising from European law. However, they are now likely to lose their case because the European court has ruled that an EU directive on food supplements was properly made (PJ, 7 February 2004, p148).

The Alliance for Natural Health estimates that the ban will affect 300 out of 450 currently available natural ingredients and will result in up to 5,000 products disappearing from shelves.

The Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s science adviser, John Clements, said the Society welcomed the moves to ensure that the products available are of sufficient quality and safe to use. However, he added: “The directive imposes an upper limit on the strength of vitamins but the Society’s view is that these limits should be based on scientific evidence.”

Half of them are a waste of money anyway.
