Regulation of nutraceuticals and all other supplements
Nikita and all other circle members, not sure if you have seen the LocalCircles survey on nutraceuticals which I read in news paper yesterday. It supports that these supplements must be treated as medicines and not food items so they are safe and the safe ones can have price controls so they are affordable.

The pathetic pink and orange papers who dont cater to consumers will never write about it as they are hands in gloves with these supplement makers who dont want drug regulations to apply.
They’d rather have public face consequences of some supplement and continue with ad revenue they get from such supplement makers. However the Government must do the right thing and regulate them as drug. more

Many appeals are made on Localgroups for more government regulation into almost everything. The Government is neither competent nor qualified to regulate every small thing, especially when they are finding it difficult to do the core tasks that is expected of them. Moreover, these kind of new regulations are like having a nanny for people which is offensive to most of us who want our country to be democratic, reasonably free and open. People who buy and consume Neutraceuticals are neither illiterate, dumb or poor. They constitute people who are well aware and consume it after taking a concious decision, whether or not a doctors prescription is there or not. How many pharamacies insist on a doctors prescription anyway? Price controls over essential drugs is understandable and is in force for a limited number of drugs. But are Neutraceuticals essential drugs? more

I am not aware of any country where Nutraceuticals are regulated. U.S.A., Europe, Australia do not. Please don't make the government our Mai/Baap. Sociologists call it paternal/maternal governments. Unless your health care professional recommends, why should one buy them? more
