However, the country\u2019s path towards European integration has radically changed the situation. Today, <strong>the placing of dietary supplements on the market<\/strong> is governed by clear rules harmonised with the EU, which guarantee consumer safety and transparency for businesses.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take a closer look at how the legislation has changed, what the notification procedure entails, and what requirements apply to market operators.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a dietary supplement under the law?<\/h2>\n\n<p>Amendments to the <a href=\"https:\/\/zakon.rada.gov.ua\/laws\/show\/771\/97-%D0%B2%D1%80#Text\">Law<\/a> of Ukraine \u2018On the Basic Principles and Requirements for the Safety and Quality of Food Products\u2019 have finally established a clear definition.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alden.ua\/en\/areas\/harchova-promyslovist-ta-kormy\/diyetychni-dobavky\/\">A dietary supplement<\/a><\/strong> is a food product consumed in small, specified quantities to supplement the normal diet. It is a concentrated source of nutrients (vitamins, minerals) or other substances with physiological effects. <\/p>\n\n<p>Key features:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Forms available:<\/strong> capsules, tablets, lozenges, sachets, ampoules, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Status:<\/strong> This is not a medicinal product, but a food product.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Aim:<\/strong> to support the body, rather than to treat illnesses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>This distinction is crucial for both producers and consumers, bringing the Ukrainian market closer to the European model.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tighter controls: safety first<\/h2>\n\n<p>The state is moving from formal regulation to effective control over product composition. The Ministry of Health of Ukraine has been granted the authority to approve and regularly update: <\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>List of permitted ingredients (vitamins, minerals).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maximum permissible intake levels.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>This means that <strong>the marketing of dietary supplements<\/strong> with questionable ingredients or dangerous dosages becomes impossible within the legal framework.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The notification procedure: from chaos to a register<\/h2>\n\n<p>Instead of a complex and opaque licensing system, a notification mechanism has been introduced, which is in use within the European Union.<\/p>\n\n<p>The market operator is required to notify the competent authority when a product is first placed on the market. All information is entered into a public register on the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection\u2019s website. This ensures transparency: any consumer can check the legality of a food supplement.  <\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Important:<\/strong> A transition period has been established for products placed on the market prior to the new amendments. These products may be sold until their expiry date, but for no longer than three years from the date the law comes into force. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How dietary supplements are brought to market: the stages<\/h2>\n\n<p>The product registration process requires careful attention and adherence to deadlines.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alden.ua\/en\/services\/reyestracziya-tovariv-u-profilnyh-vidomstvah\/registration-of-food-supplements-in-ukraine-notification-to-the-ssufscp\/\">Submitting a report<\/a><\/h3>\n\n<p>The market operator must submit a notification to the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection no later than <strong>10 days<\/strong> before sales commence.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Preparation of the documentation<\/h3>\n\n<p>The following must be submitted together with the notification:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sample label in Ukrainian.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Original label (for imported goods).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cover letter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proof of legal circulation in EU countries (where available).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Entry in the register<\/h3>\n\n<p>The State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection has 10 working days to process the documents. The product is either entered into the register or returned for further processing. Sale is permitted only once the product has been added to the database.  <\/p>\n\n<p><em>A practical point to note:<\/em> Although the law stipulates a 10-day period, the actual processing times often drag on for months. Businesses should take these delays into account when planning the launch of sales. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Labelling and quality requirements<\/h2>\n\n<p>The successful <strong>launch of dietary supplements<\/strong> is impossible without compliance with strict requirements regarding the product itself:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alden.ua\/en\/services\/markuvannya-tovaru\/\">Labelling<\/a>:<\/strong> Must be accurate and not misleading. The name, ingredients, active substances, warnings, dosage and storage conditions must be stated. It is prohibited to attribute medicinal properties to food supplements.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong> Only permitted substances in safe doses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alden.ua\/en\/services\/protokol-vyprobuvan\/protokol-vyprobuvan-harchovui-produkczii\/\">Laboratory testing<\/a>:<\/strong> The operator must have evidence of the product\u2019s safety (test reports) and provide it upon request by the inspectors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implications for business<\/h2>\n\n<p>The new legislation is helping to create a fair market where the rules of competition apply equally to all. To avoid fines and operational downtime, companies should take the following steps now: <\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Carry out an audit of existing documentation and labels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check that the composition complies with current Ministry of Health regulations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Allow extra time for the registration process.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>Compliance with these requirements is not only a legal obligation, but also key to maintaining consumer trust in your brand.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alden.ua\/areas\/harchova-promyslovist-ta-kormy\/diyetychni-dobavky\/\">Dietary supplements<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alden.ua\/services\/reyestracziya-tovariv-u-profilnyh-vidomstvah\/reyestracziya-diyetychnyh-dobavok-bad-v-ukrayini-povidomlennya-dpss\/\">Submitting a report<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alden.ua\/en\/services\/markuvannya-tovaru\/\">Labeling<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alden.ua\/services\/protokol-vyprobuvan\/protokol-vyprobuvan-harchovui-produkczii\/\">Test report<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Until recently, the dietary supplements market in Ukraine resembled a \u2018grey area\u2019 with vague standards and minimal oversight.
