Please Act Now – Every Letter Helps The Food Supplements Directive

Moves about to be made by the European Commission could determine whether higher potency vitamin and mineral supplements are permitted for sale in the future in all European Union countries, or whether they are banned from sale throughout the Union. Action that you can take now, can influence this process – securing a safe home in European law for safe and popular higher potency vitamin and mineral supplements.

Pressure from some Member States and organisations which are antagonistic in their attitude to the supplements industry could lead to very restrictive levels being established and made legally binding. This would damage the supplements industry, impact upon specialist suppliers and retailers, and restrict consumer choice unnecessarily. It would undermine the supplements market and inhibit the success of public health programmes.
