Health food and approval by the Ministry of Health are allowed to claim the function of "improving sleep", but labels, instructions and advertisements shall not promote the curative effect. And those ordinary foods that add γ-aminobutyric acid and L-cateine ​​are added, even if they have a sleep aid effect, they cannot be declared without obtaining health food batch. Ordinary food manufacturers have been punished by administrative penalties for such propaganda.

Consumer

When buying melatonin health foods, you should pay attention to the melatonin content of each product of each or dose. Do not take it too much.

Buying sleep aid health foods, do not believe that the effects of the allowance of health foods are allowed, such as "beauty and beauty" and "protecting nerves" and other functions.

Before using any health food or nutritional supplement to improve sleep, you should consult your doctor's opinions. Especially consumers who take other drugs for a long time should pay attention to avoiding the cross -reaction of the drug component affecting the health of the body.

Health food is irreplaceable for drugs. When insomnia seriously affects life, you should consult your doctor in time. Do not blindly use the sleep aid effect of health products.
