🔍 “Imported Supplements: The Wild West of Wellness?”

• Andrew Wren

Welcome to another episode of the Electromagnetic Nutritional Hub Podcast, where we break down the latest in nutrition, regulation, and practitioner support with real-world insights and no-nonsense conversation.

In today’s episode, we're diving into a topic that’s raising serious concern across the UK’s natural health community—the growing flood of imported supplements that seem to bypass the very regulations UK companies are bound to follow.

While UK manufacturers work hard to meet strict standards on labelling, allergen declarations, and product safety, an alarming number of overseas products are entering the market under vague or non-compliant terms like “dietary supplements”—a category that doesn’t even legally exist in the UK.

Joining us today is a conversation you won’t want to miss. We unpack the FNTP’s latest warnings, why terms like “organic” and “vegan” aren’t always what they seem, and the shocking real-life consequences of inconsistent allergen labelling—like the tragic case of Natasha Ednan-Laperouse.

We’ll also explore the growing burden on UK practitioners, who are now expected to play detective: cross-referencing ingredients, verifying regulatory categories, and navigating the complexities of international compliance just to stay on the right side of UK law.

👉 If you’re a practitioner, manufacturer, or simply a conscious consumer, this episode is a must-listen. Learn how to protect your practice, uphold your standards, and make informed choices in an industry that’s still fighting for fair rules and global accountability.
