The court of Barnaul satisfied the claim of the prosecutor's office for the recognition of the information contained on the website of iHerb online store prohibited.

In the opinion of ‘People's Control’, there are about 2000 drugs that are not suitable for sale in Russia, but not all of them are named in the statement of claim of the prosecutor's office.
According to an expert who is a clinical pharmacologist and who was invited to consider the case, admission of an indefinite number of persons to the website poses a risk to public health. This is due to the possible consequences of high dosages, as well as the combination of dietary supplements with other drugs.At the moment, the court's decision has not yet entered into force and can be challenged.
