- FOOD SUPPLEMENTS
How can we find a particular ingredient or product regulation for a food/dietary supplement when the supplement is regulated as a medicine, therapeutic good?
The scope of the system in general is focused on dietary ingredients and does not contain medical-related sources, but this can also depend on the market.
Therefore, in general, you can search for supplement information in cases when it is regulated as food, that is, under the food regulation for that country.
As regards our ingredient database Nutriwise, for certain markets, there can be found different guides about borderline products or data from the lists that might refer to one or both product categories. If the market defines the product category of food supplements separately from food, the information will be available for that released market under this feature.
