The great supplement health claim lottery, says Which?

Article Type: Food facts From: Nutrition & Food Science, Volume 41, Issue 4

People could be wasting their money on supplements that do not offer the health benefits they claim, finds new research from consumer champion Which?

We’re concerned that people are being taken for a ride, needlessly paying a premium for many products on the basis of health claims that haven’t been backed up by scientific evidence. We want to see the European Commission release a list of accepted and rejected claims as soon as possible, so that consumers will not continue to be bamboozled by health claims they cannot trust.
