The schedule
for 2007 is as follows:
The
following is an excerpt from the Overview of the Natural Health Products
Regulations Guidance Documents of the Natural Health Products Directorate
(NHPD) of Canada.
| # 4 |
June 1, 2007 |
- Plants, plant materials;
- extracts prepared by traditional methods**,
- volatile (essential) oils other than those that are
concentrated and indicated for internal use
|
Plants and plant materials are considered Priority
4 because intrinsically plant materials present less risk than their
extracts or isolates. Still, the safety information for many species
is limited. |
| # 5 |
January 1, 2008 |
|
Vitamins and minerals are considered priority 5 NHPs because
most are well-known with regard to safe conditions of use as dietary
supplements. However, there may be potential concerns associated
with
- dosing of certain less-well known fat soluble vitamins and
micronutrient minerals as dietary supplements; and
- recommendations for use without adequate supporting evidence
in the treatment of serious diseases
