Regulatory Considerations for New Supplement Markets

The questions to answer before launching a nutraceutical in a new country.

Every market classifies and regulates supplements differently. The same product might be a food supplement in one country, a traditional herbal product in another and require registration in a third.

Before launch, confirm how your product will be classified, which ingredients and levels are permitted, what label claims are allowed and what registration or notification is required.

Ingredient documentation from your supplier — specifications, COAs and origin information — is the foundation for most of these steps.

We recommend working with a regulatory adviser in the destination market. We coordinate product documentation to support that process; we do not provide regulatory approvals.
