This is an issue that comes up from time to time, particularly from our Customers in Europe. The regulatory ‘environment’ about supplements in the EU is all over the place with different rules for different EU members. Even though there is supposed to be ‘harmonisation’ that is far from the truth. This is not surprising as the citizens of some countries will just not stand for the heavy handed tactics of some ‘authorities’… Sadly, on the other hand other citizens don’t raise any objection and just accept what is dished out to them and confine themselves and their health to the pharmaceutical model. There has been a real push for many years by specific interest groups to try and ban many supplements in Europe, or ‘water’ them down to the level that they lose their efficacy. This is all about money, not health. However, I am optimistic as more people become more informed about the benefits of going the ‘natural’ way that they will not allow their politicians to bully them any longer. The following is an email that I received from a customer who was having problem getting her supplements into Malta. She has since been able to get a prescription from a local Doctor so she is OK. Her husband has now changed his position and is on Total Balance and our Fish Oil. Vivian was happy to share her following email with you. (Joanna is our medical nutritionist, and yes, she recently married) Oh… it is not very likely that there will be any significant change in the availability of supplements in Europe for the foreseeable future… but, if you live in Europe keep and eye on the matter and complain to your politicians if you see there are further movements to restrict your freedom of choice. Here is Vivian’s email
