Save Our Supplements
New European laws coming into force will outlaw many vitamin and mineral supplements that we are able to buy in the UK. There is a new campaign at Westminster against the new laws, and a national on-line petition has been launched to demand that Ministers take effective action to protect our vitamins, minerals and other supplements.
Consumers for Health Choice supports the goals of this campaign and urges supporters to give it their backing.

VITAMINS & MINERALS UNDER THREAT
A CONSERVATIVE CAMPAIGN FOR GOVERNMENT ACTION
The vitamin & mineral tablets used by millions of British people are under threat. Products such as 1gram Vitamin C tablets that are frequently used in the cold season, and the mineral Boron, important for strong bones and teeth, are set to become illegal once recently passed European laws are fully introduced.
Many more specialist vitamins that have been used safely by UK consumers for many years will also disappear. Almost every multi-vitamin tablet sold in Britain will have to be reformulated to avoid breaking the law.
Despite a vigorous campaign by the Conservative Party and the pressure group Consumers for Health Choice, the Government accepted the new rules. It is too late to reverse that decision – but it’s not too late to change the way that the laws will be enforced. The European Commission has still to decide many final details. It is still possible to save many products; but that will not happen unless the Government works hard on our behalf. Right now, that’s not happening.
That is why the Conservatives have launched a new campaign to put pressure on the Government to step in and get the right deal in Brussels. We are breaking new ground by organising a nationwide e-petition. We aim to get the backing of thousands of people; backing that we can use to put renewed pressure on Ministers and to make them realise how strongly we all feel about this.
