Health is the cornerstone of the existence of life. In the pursuit of healthy steps, people gradually approach the source of health and quality of “health care”. Experts say that "prevention is more important than cures." The media is saying that "sub-health has become an urban killer." Businesses are saying that "giving gifts must be sent to the health." The focus of all this is ultimately on the darling of life and health - health products. On the body. The elderly need calcium, women need blood, children have brains, and young women have to lose weight. Therefore, a variety of health products emerge one after another.

In the face of this huge cake in the health care market, health care product manufacturers are springing up. More than 4,000 companies are exploring the market for "health foods," "functional foods," and "healthcare drugs." Consequent false health care product advertisements, illegal health product formulas, and food hygiene incidents have caused regulatory authorities, health care product manufacturers, and consumers of health products to be confused.

With the listing of the State Food and Drug Administration, consumers are looking forward to the day when the health products leave the "healthy word" system, regardless of the production company, or consumers.

So now, how do you identify health products and not see the flowers in the fog?

One must look for "blue hat." The “blue hat” in the upper left corner of the outer packaging is health food. When purchasing, you should look for whether the product packaging has the approval number of the national administrative department. The identification of the domestic health food must have the approval number of the Ministry of Health “Wei Shijian” "And the State Food and Drug Administration approved the document number "Guo Shi Jian Zi" logo, import health food must have "Wei Jin Shi Jian" logo. Health-care devices must have the approval number “Pharmaceutical Machinery (Quasi) Word” issued by the State Drug Administration.

Second, we must confirm the health care function. Carefully refer to the instructions on the product packaging to determine the health care function of the product. At present, health food products approved by the Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China have only a total of 22 health care functions, and the same product cannot have more than two functions at the same time. At the same time, health food packaging and related advertisements should be marked with the following admonition: "This product can not replace drugs." If consumers do not find the above advice, they must be careful when purchasing health foods.

Third, pay attention to product taboos. The approval certificate for health food products indicates some unsuitable people or taboos, and requires the company to mark the product packaging instructions. The following “contraindications” on the packaging of health food products are likely to be counterfeit products: if the product is declared as an ancestral secret recipe, it contains promises such as “safety”, “no toxic and side effects” and “without dependence”; it contains “latest technology”. , "the highest technology", "the most advanced system of law" and other absolute language and expression.

4. If the name and image of a medical institution appear in advertisements for health foods, or the efficacy of the product is demonstrated by the name and image of the medical staff, caution should be exercised if it is stated or suggested to be suitable for all symptoms and all groups of people and claims to have a therapeutic effect. buy.
