Kombucha is an increasingly consumed product classified as a nutraceutical. Legislative efforts about these products remain confusing and without global harmonization. This natural product has been developed to improve or promote physical and mental health. However, it needs regulatory guidelines to control the production and guarantee the product's efficacy and safety.
The study intends to draw attention to the need for regulatory guidelines and the potential of this product in the market and peoples' health.
The lack of regulation and the low level of literacy about this product can limit its development, marketing, and impact on health. Thus, it is essential to highlight the potential value of this product and invest in its development and marketing. Likewise, it is important to spread awareness among the population of these products and their impacts on people's health. Thus, this study focuses on a pertinent theme and alerts to the need for legislation for these products, to draw attention to the inexistent legislative control and the consequent need for regulatory guidelines for better and safer production and consumption.
康普茶是一种消费日益增长的产品,被归类为营养保健品。关于这些产品的立法工作仍然令人困惑,且缺乏全球协调统一。这种天然产品旨在改善或促进身心健康。然而,它需要监管指南来控制生产并保证产品的功效和安全性。
该研究旨在引起人们对监管指南的必要性以及该产品在市场和人们健康方面潜力的关注。
对该产品缺乏监管以及人们对此产品的认知水平较低,可能会限制其发展、市场推广以及对健康的影响。因此,突出该产品的潜在价值并投资于其开发和市场推广至关重要。同样,向公众宣传这些产品及其对人们健康的影响也很重要。因此,本研究聚焦于一个相关主题,并提醒人们需要对这些产品进行立法,以引起对缺乏立法控制以及随之而来的对更好、更安全生产和消费的监管指南需求的关注。
