Description

Dietary supplements are potent sources of nutrients like vitamins and minerals, or other components that may have health benefits, and they are sold in specific forms such as pills, tablets, capsules, or liquids measured for dosage. These supplements can include a variety of ingredients, such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids, fiber, and different plant or herb extracts. Within the European Union, dietary supplements fall under food regulations. There are standardized laws governing the vitamins and minerals, as well as their sources, that can be used in these supplements. For ingredients beyond just vitamins and minerals, the European Commission has set consistent guidelines to safeguard consumers from possible health risks and keeps an updated list of substances known or believed to cause health issues, monitoring their use closely.
