Re: Banning Vitamins in the UK

[Guest guest]

My friend sent me some suplemments from Brazil a year ago and never

arrived here. It was a copaiba oil and minoxidil preparation for my

hair. They do not let get into the country...point and finished!

No one could help in this case, because the medicine will stop at the

airport control.

Once I have tried to get some suplemment from Life Extension

Foundation in US and I could not either. There are a number of suplemments that

is free in US and forbidden here.

Do not ask me why?

The british are very cautions regarding suplemments...I do not think

they like much...GP for sure don't like them. They prefer to prescribe you

drugs!!!!

Well, for instance melatonin, DHEA, and others...are not allowed here

You can find sometimes over the internet suplemments but it is not

good to buy like that witout knowing the brand , the quality, etc.

Once is unlicensed , then is a problem!

Yes... I really would love to write to the Parliment, Congress, I just do not

know who else? Something that I need to find out now.

Joanna,

I just checked the site where I order my vitamins in the UK, and

nothing is written about this? I will give you the address if you

wish, free delivery in the UK... Are you sure? I can not imagine any

country here in the EC banning vitamins, as every country gives them to

the children etc. It will not be possible to ban them because someone

taking the ferry to Belguim, Holland, or Germany, or the train to

France will find them.

I have also had things like emu oil tablets also stopped at the border

here in Germany, but they nevertheless gave them to me, as a " last

time " . Good luck

AMY,

THIS IS CRAZY, DON'T YOU THINK? WELL, HAVE A LOOK , THIS IS A SEROUS

MATTER AND FOR NOW THEY ARE SELLING THEM, BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE

BANNED IN AUGUST.

I JUST DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO SAY OR TO DO RIGHT NOW. I AM LOST...AND I WILL NEED

TO CHECK WITH THE HEALTH FOOD HERE, BUT PLEASE, SEND ME THE ADDRESS WHERE YOU

GET YOURS PLEASE? I AM SO UPSET WITH THIS NEWS.

I JUST STARTED WITH VIT C RECENTLY...AND I DO NOT KNOW HOW I AM

GOING TO DO WITHOUT MY OTHER SUPLEMMENTS.

ALREADY, I FEEL VERY MUCH ALONE HERE, BECAUSE GP DO NOT PRESCRIBE

YOU THOSE SUPLEMMENTS ANYWAY.

THANKS A LOT AMY,

JOANA
