New Initiative on Voluntary Notification for Health Supplements and Traditional Medicines

The Health Sciences Authority (HSA) will be launching the Voluntary Notification System (VNS) for Health Supplements (HS) and Traditional Medicines (TM) on 1 Aug 2022. The aim of the VNS is to establish a local database of safe and good quality HS and TM that consumers can refer to when they make their purchases. It will also allow for better traceability and follow-up actions by HSA if there are any safety or quality issues.

Companies that participate in the VNS are required to provide HSA with the relevant documents to demonstrate that their products meet the necessary safety and quality standards and labelling requirements. Only products that meet these standards will be published on the HSA database.  For more information on the submission procedure and requirements of the VNS, please refer here.

Please do not hesitate to contact us at HSA_CHP@hsa.gov.sg if you require further clarifications. Thank you.
