| Title: |
|
|
Natural Health Products Directorate (NHPD) Consultation on
Fatty Acids and Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs).
|
| Description: |
|
|
In March 2005, the NHPD commissioned a discussion paper that
focused on Canadian fatty acid and EFA research and issues
related to conducting fatty acid and EFA research in Canada.
Following an extensive internet search and interviews with
key researchers, the need for more focused attention on EFAs
within the context of natural health products (NHPs) was
identified, most notably in the area of partnership building
and dissemination of information on the NHP Regulations and
the Natural Health Products Research Program (NHPRP).
The objectives of this conference are:
- to identify key fatty acid and EFA related issues with
the potential to be a regulatory challenge;
- to explore options for facilitating research in this
area, notably by leveraging work being done in other sectors;
and
- to strengthen partnerships and facilitate dialogue generally
between the various sectors working in fatty acids and
EFAs.
