Is it true that EU policies dictate that a "nutritional product" cannot be used for therapeutic purposes in treating a physical condition?

The question related to the marketing of a nutritional supplement which is intended to treat cardiovascular disease; stiffened arteries etc.

Hello and welcome to the cove :bigwave:

Seems like the Medicinal Product Directive applies.

Article 1 includes the following:

Medicinal product:

(a) Any substance or combination of substances presented as having properties for treating or preventing disease in human beings; or

(b) Any substance or combination of substances which may be used in or administered to human beings either with a view to restoring, correcting or modifying physiological functions by exerting a pharmacological, immunological or metabolic action, or to making a medical diagnosis.
(Emphasis added)

It seems that EU realized the truth in product labels. I've noted in one food product (not medical device though) that zero means a little and calorie counts deceive. The point is consumer should know what you really get in each bite.
