The European Botanical Forum (EBF) has released its first fact file to underline the history and role of plants and botanicals in nutrition, in light of the growing popularity of botanical food supplements on the European market.
Titled An introduction to the role, safety and benefits of botanical food supplements, the fact file aims to correct some commonly-held misapprehensions about botanical food supplements, and offers an overview of the use of these ingredients in food supplements.
“Botanical food supplements and herbal medicinal products follow two distinct and separate legal frameworks, hence fully justifying their co-existence side by side,” says Manfred Ruthsatz, EBF Chairman.
“Botanicals have a long history of providing health benefits and are subject to regulations which specifically require that the claims made are not misleading and can be scientifically substantiated.”
