Gujarat NGO demands drug regulator oversight for nutraceuticals over quality and pricing fears

Could your supplement be regulated like a medicine soon

A Gujarat-based NGO is urging the government to regulate nutraceuticals such as health supplements under drug regulators, not food safety authorities. The group alleges uneven product quality and unregulated pricing, arguing the current framework leaves consumers exposed. If accepted, the proposal could bring tighter standards and more transparent costs for nutraceuticals nationwide.
