Because most health foods are designed according to the theory of Chinese medicine and the idea of keeping in good health of Chinese medicine, although the declared functions of the 27 functions may be the same, different ingredients, different principles, even different compatibility doses, different raw material sources and different technological dosage forms may have different effects and functions on human health. And different people (age, gender, occupation, physical condition, living area, living environment, lifestyle) will have different performances. The fact that the same health care function has different effects on human body needs to be objectively evaluated through evidence-based medical research after listing. This is not only to truly and accurately reflect the different effects and use values of the same health care function of different products, but also to let consumers know the real product function information, so as to master the human applicability of the correct products.

Health care products and health care instruments

The state also has corresponding regulations and restrictions on health care products and health care devices, but it is not as good as health food with a special "police mobile unit" logo. Before 2003, all health products, including health food, were examined and approved by the health department, but after 2003, health products except health food were still examined and approved by the health department, and health food was uniformly examined and approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. Health care products can generally be divided into male health care products, female health care products, middle-aged and elderly health care products, infant health care products, sexual health care products and so on. The biggest difference between health care devices and medical devices is that one is to strengthen the body and prevent diseases, and the other is to treat diseases. The two should not be confused.

Special cosmetics

China's special-purpose cosmetics must be approved by the Ministry of Health before they can be produced and sold. At present, the approval name of special cosmetics is still "make-up".
