President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed the law on improving the regulation of the production and circulation of food supplements (№4122-IX).

According to the new law, the term "dietary supplement" is introduced, as well as mechanisms for registration and introduction of dietary supplements into circulation. Particular attention is paid to strengthening responsibility for the production and sale of food supplements.

The law also provides for the approval of a list of vitamins, minerals and their maximum permissible doses that are allowed for use in dietary supplements. This will reduce the risks to consumer health.

Chief Sanitary Doctor Ihor Kuzin noted that dietary supplements containing active pharmaceutical ingredients, dangerous unverified combinations or complex complexes will be progressively withdrawn from the market.
