Once again, we have to have a campaign to Save Our Supplements from European legislation.
The EU Food Supplements Directive is threatening to remove considerable numbers of safe and popular higher potency food supplements, particularly vitamins and minerals, from the UK market.
British industry estimates that this will lead to the closure of large numbers of health food stores and the potential loss of several thousand jobs across the UK.
Those who wish to protest against this Directive are urged to write to their MP requesting that they:
1. Ask for a commitment from the Minister that the maximum permitted dose levels for vitamins and minerals in food supplements, which are about to be proposed by the EU Commission, are not set at unnecessarily low levels.
2. Ask the new European Health Commissioner, John Dalli, to make sure that his officials do not bring forward proposals that will deny millions of consumers across Europe continued access to safe and popular high potency vitamin and mineral supplements of their choice.
We need to act now to save our supplements before it is too late and vitamins and minerals will be forced off the shelves.
If you cannot write to your MP, then this petition aims to positively influence the approach the European Commission is taking in its efforts to limit the maximum available dosages of vitamin and mineral food supplements across the 27 Member States of Europe.

We’re having the same potential threat here in the U.S. and it scares the %&^# out of me.
