EU Advocate General Says Nay to EU Ban on Health Supplements -
In 2002, the European Union governments approved a directive that would ban many of the most common nutritional supplements throughout Europe. This ban covered vitamins, mineral plant extracts, and other various natural health products. Under the terms of this directive, manufacturers of these products were to be given until July 12 of this year to provide evidence that their products contained ingredients that are considered safe. Once approval was received, the products would then be put on a “positive” list and could be sold.
