- type and quality of evidence used to support health benefit claims
- manufacturing requirements
- permitted substances
- conditions about which claims can be made.
If you are interested in natural health and would like to make a submission, please ensure that you are signed up to the newsletter for The NZ Journal of Natural Medicine which you can do at this link and/or the newsletter for www.healthfreedom.co.nz since this should ensure that you get access to analysis of the proposed regulations that you can consider when writing a submission.
