Is your honey my poison? Before eating, you need to evaluate based on physical qualityIn addition to food, the most common spoils also include medicines. Currently, it is stipulated that the entry of non-regular medicines is limited to 12 bottles, and the total amount does not exceed 36 bottles (boxes, cans, strips, and sprouts).

But in recent years, more and more cases have shown that it is obvious that when you buy health care "foods" abroad, it is listed as "pharmaceuticals" when you return to Taiwan, different regulations must be applied. For example, although the "memory gum" that was popular in Japan is a food product, it is a drug management in Taiwan because it contains silver apricot leaf extract. In addition to apricot leaves, "sleep soft sugar" containing melatonin, nutrient supplements containing "lipoic acid", and glucosamine containing "salt sulfate" may be classified as medicines in Taiwan, and the relevant regulations are more stringent than foods.
In fact, the drug management regulations in different countries are different. Drugs and health foods from abroad do not really suit you. It is recommended to review and then replenish them through the suggestions of professional doctors and pharmacies. In addition, the medicines brought from abroad often do not have Chinese labels. It is difficult for ordinary people to understand the correct dosage, use, taboos and side effects. Taking them casually will easily cause harm. Never buy and use them because of the popularity.
