The proposed EU measures do seem extreme for the majority of food supplements and herbal remedies, but I would certainly welcome additional information regarding any potential side effects of of the ingredients.

Even if it's only a minor side effect it should be clearly marked on the container. For example I occassionally take Coenzyme Q10, which when I look on Google it says, "some patients have experienced a mild inability to sleep, liver enzymes levels have been elavated, rashes, nausea and upper abdominal pain. Others side effects reported include dizziness, irritability, headache, fatigue, heartburn and visual sensitivity to light.

Any prescription drug would be required to list these side effects, so why not food supplements.
