    Hello @neoplan StatusMember.

    If it doesn’t go through on Ebay, it’s because this type of product is not allowed; this product is considered a medicine and is therefore blacklist for sale.

    See this page.

      Hello,

      Yes, and in particular the prohibition on health claims when they have not been approved, including those based on plants.

      The label "dietary supplement" is a convenient catch-all to try to evade pharmaceutical regulations (including its clinical trials, no one being able to prove the stated claims).

      In France, anything presented as such (to the extreme flour in capsules in blister packs) and anything that claims therapeutic indications is considered a medicine by the Public Health Code.

      Regarding plants, they are far from innocent; some are even prohibited for having caused deaths (notably slimming products), still online.

      When the dietary supplement manufacturer is at least a little clever, they content themselves with more or less vague claims (vitamins, restores the gut flora...) while avoiding any therapeutic indications and dosage information.

    Hello,

    As an addition, you talk about some products about which we know nothing.

    There are surely strict rules that I do not know, sorry.

    But I see natural health products on eBay, I cannot answer more precisely.
