Nutritional supplements Laboratory Nutraceutical Analyses

Nutritional supplements are a special group of foodstuffs under EU law. In other jurisdictions, this is regulated differently. In the EU, a clear distinction must be made between the following questions

What may be marketed as a nutritional supplement? (Here the scope is quite wide) and

What health claims may be used for nutritional supplements? (Here the scope is quite narrow)

However, since it is more difficult to sell nutritional supplements without providing information about their efficacy claims, it is important to proceed carefully here. We advise on this.
