My employer are doing a well being awareness event and are thinking of things they can give away to promote health and well being in the workplace. How do they stand libility wise if they were to give out Omega 3 and Menpace?

I think you need to be very careful when providing any such items, especially if they come with a recommendation about consulting a GP before using them. There could be unknown allergies, and complications with other medication and other issues that might get an employer into difficult situations...
Maybe offer some recipe books or other guidance on wellbeing instead?
By the way, when I searched for Menpace I only got results for Menopace - and there are number of side effects listed agiant those vitamins, so again I don't think an employer would want to get involved in that sort of issue

Thank you, i agree with you hence my concern and you're right its Menopace. It appears the products were donated to us by another company as part of a well being promotion. anyone have any thoughts on putting a liability notice on the products to state they should consult their GP if taking other medication.

I wouldn't even go that far in interpreting the implications of using supplements or providing even that level of advice on their use.
I would just say to read the information leaflet (which these things presumably have in the pack?) before deciding whether to take them. That way I can stay within my area of competence which does not include advising people about taking supplements!

In relation to 'liability' about promoting wellbeing, it is worth gathering and distributing information about meanings of 'wellbeing', by contrast with 'nurtition', 'exercise', 'fitness' and 'constructive work relationships', and alternative approaches to each.
It is far from clear what many users of the term 'wellbeing'' have in mind and how it can be used with consistent meaning.
