"Health food naming regulations" issued 11 categories of health products named stopped

The ancestral secret, secret system, Hua Tuo, and Shen Gong... approached health products sales counters. The public can often see these beautiful words. Some people use credulous advertisements to take health care products as drugs and delay the illness. However, such words are expected to disappear in the future because the National Food and Drug Administration recently issued the "Non-Health Food Naming Regulations" and "Health Food Nomenclature Guidelines", prohibiting the use of 11 types of words for health product naming.

Citizen story: The old man believes in advertising

Li Tao and his wife have been doing clothing business in Xi'an for more than 20 years. Their parents have been living in the countryside. Since his father had had a secondary brain haemorrhage the previous few years, although he had been rescued, he had already destroyed his son. "Because he only heard advertisements saying that there was good medicine, he called me to buy him."

Li Tao said in an interview with reporters yesterday that his father would always listen to the radio when he was busy at home. As soon as he heard that the drug was good on the radio, he immediately called him to buy it. "It is appropriate to honour the elderly. What's more, I have not been around and I feel even more embarrassed in these years. But I understand that advertising is deceptive, that is to say to him.” Li Tao said that last year he had asked one to understand medicine. Relatives had seen a cup of “medicine” from their father and found that the vast majority were health products, and some even had three products. “And my dad was convinced that those 'drugs' could cure the disease. They also said that the advertisements all said that the former emperor had eaten.”

National New Regulations: Name Banned Eleven Classes

The new regulations clarify the prohibition of the names of 11 types of health products. There should be no false exaggeration in the naming of health foods. Consumers are not easy to understand, vulgar, or have feudal superstitions, human tissues and organs, and words such as names, place names, pinyin, and local dialects. Among them, ancestral, imperial, court, powerful, special effects, the first, top, treatment, Hua Wei, Li Shizhen, Shen Dan, etc. are in the "banned language" list. Words that express or imply a therapeutic effect, such as prescription, compound, medicine, medicine, anti-inflammatory, blood circulation, sputum, cough, etc., must not be used. Product features are not related, and words that are not easily understood by consumers include nanometers, genes, and space. The name must not exaggerate the function of the product. For example, iron supplement nutrient supplements can not be named blood or improve nutritional anemia.

Before this, the Food and Drug Administration issued a list of substances that may have been illegally added to the first batch of health foods. These illegal additives are present in products that claim to have functions such as slimming, assisted hypoglycemia, lowering blood pressure (regulating blood lipids), relieving physical fatigue, enhancing immunity, and improving sleep, for a total of nearly 50 species.

The State Food and Drug Administration also requires that food and drug supervision and administration departments at all levels should pay attention to the situation of illegally added substances outside the list in the process of supervision and inspection, and submit them to the State Food and Drug Administration after summarizing.

Xi'an Market: Most advertisements claim to be curative

The reporter visited Hancheng Road, where medicine and health care products are concentrated in Xi'an on the 21st, and found that various health products that are gathered in this road have various types of health products sold, and they contain “god power”, “brain”, “court”, etc. The name, or health care product that claims to have various effects is even more overwhelming.

"This hypoglycemic and lipid-lowering capsule has a very good effect, which can activate and repair insulin cells, improve the insulin secretion ability of cells, and reduce diabetic glycated hemoglobin." In one of the pharmaceutical supermarkets, salespersons are selling to customers. A brand of "Catholic lipid-lowering capsule gift box." The reporter said that a box of the gift box was needed. After a careful inspection, he found that the packaging was clearly marked with “health food” signs.

In another medical supermarket, the salesperson tried to recommend to reporters who claimed that he had not been able to mention God that they were made of valuable Chinese herbal medicines such as Cordyceps, Ginseng, Rhodiola, and Ganoderma lucidum, and they had anti-fatigue and immunoregulatory effects. The role of health care, can eliminate fatigue, improve immunity, enhance physical fitness "kidney gift box. When reporters questioned how the gift box labeled as a health product could have the effect of the state prohibiting health products from claiming “relieving physical fatigue and enhancing immunity”? The salesperson disdained his face. “Do you care about the medicine prefix (drug) or the health word (health care product), as long as the effect is symptomatic?”

Tip: See signs to distinguish health products and medicines

How can the public distinguish between health products and medicines? Yesterday, the reporter consulted Li Zhi, a physician in a hospital. Dr. Li explained that the simplest way to distinguish between the two is to look at the signs. The state requires that “pharmaceutical prefixes” or “healthy prefixes” should be printed on the apparent location of the package so that consumers can distinguish between them. The logo for health foods is sky blue, and the word “health food” appears in the lower part of the chart. All kinds of health products must also have this sign.

Li Zhi said that the biggest difference between health products and medicines is the difference in production and formula composition. The production capacity and technical conditions of drugs must be rigorously reviewed by the relevant state departments, and strictly examined through pharmacology, pathology, and viruses, as well as many years of clinical observations, and approved by relevant departments before they can be put on the market. The health products can be directly put into the market without going through hospital clinical trials. In this way, belonging to drugs must have exact curative effects and indications, and the adverse reactions should be clear; otherwise, it belongs to health care products. It only tests pollutants, bacteria and other health indicators, and can be listed on the market.
