"So there would be costs to submit applications for new products. Imagine that for a product they call " innovative ", that is, new mixtures that are not present in traditional medicine, Ayurvedic, Chinese or other, but rather combinations that make sense from a pharmacological point of view - as I did with Metabzen (and I am very happy that it works and that it helps people, for me, it is worth gold) - according to the calculations they made (based on the last 3 years of pandemic), an application to bring such a formula to market can go up to $50,000 ... We are not talking about pharmaceutical companies here, but about natural health product companies (which do not have the same means).
On the other hand, there would also be market access costs to keep each product we have on the shelves. It's nice that it costs just $500/year per product, but multiplied by an inventory of 200, 300 products, that represents significant costs each year just to keep on the market the products for which we have already obtained marketing licenses .
So there are two worrying aspects: the first, research and access to new innovative products (will they disappear given the costs?) and the second, what will happen to the companies? They will focus on their best seller(s) and may remove the more niche products from their catalog .
Ultimately, there will be fewer products—less choice on the market and at higher prices (because a company can't just absorb the costs).
So, fewer tools to empower people to manage their health go completely against the idea of self-care that they themselves want to promote. ”
