Health food is very similar to medicine. If a product passed the verification of its function, consumers should consult with a professional about the product. Professional refers to physicians, pharmacists or dietitians. They can help us to select products based on our needs. But frankly, we don’t consult with professionals unless the product is unusual. This reveals the importance of a clear food label. A clear food label provides consumers more information to determine what kind of products meet their needs. Products produced by company with R&D capability and a good reputation can be more reliable.

The health food market is expanding because of rising health awareness among consumers of all ages. So we anticipate consumers having correct knowledge towards health food.

We expect those reputable companies can keep researching and developing high-quality health food products under the government’s supervision. So consumers can buy products that are actually good for their health.
