EU Issues
Alert!
Help us keep the supplements, herbs, and alternative medicines that are available to us now on the shelves! It is our health-freedom right. Keep this marketplace free.
American supplement laws are being set up for harmonization to international standards. This is why we must fight against the EU member countries position on food supplement legislation.
Official European Union website - http://europa.eu/index_en.htm
If we allow re-formulation of our nutritional supplements to comply with international standards - we lose.
Our supplements will become low dose and lacking in vital nutrient forms, as it will be too difficult to comply with the new standards. Help keep safe and effective supplements on our store shelves.
