Are food supplements advocated for use by regulatory bodies?
Yes. The Philippine government has already passed Republic Act 9423 or the Traditional Alternative Medicine Act. This law recognizes the value of herbal and natural supplements in the prevention of diseases. More and more people are recognizing the value of natural herbs and substances. In the US, Congress passed The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 which recognizes the importance of nutrition and the benefits of dietary supplements and that there is a link to the ingestion of certain nutrients found in dietary supplements and the prevention of certain diseases.
