THE DIETARY SUPPLEMENT REGULATION

 

THE DIETARY SUPPLEMENT REGULATION

Within the European Union (EU), the EU Food Supplements Directive (NEM-RL) regulates the placing on the market of food supplements. It serves as the basis for national laws - in Austria, the Food Supplements Ordinance (NEMV) - which takes precedence over the European directive.  techqueer

WHAT ARE FOOD SUPPLEMENTS (NEM)?

NEM foods are pre-packaged with precisely dosed contents of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids, fiber, and plant or herb extracts on the market.  digitalknowledgetoday

LABELLING

For this purpose, the following must be observed in particular:

·        EU Consumer Information Regulation (LMIV) specified guidelines

·        Description of food supplements on the packaging

·        The category name of the ingredients

·        Consumption recommendation depending on the product unit

·        Warning not to exceed the supply

·        Note that food supplements are not a substitute for a varied diet

·        Keep out of reach of small children

·        Micronutrients as an amount per recommended daily dose

·        Micronutrients in percent per recommended daily dose

NO REPORTING REQUIREMENT

Food enhancements do not need to be notified in advance. That is why every manufacturer decides which ingredients to use based on their responsibility. answerhop

A QUESTION OF THE DOSAGE

The delimitation to the medicinal products depends, among other things, on the dosage per recommended daily portion. The decisive factor is which dosage is stated on the packaging as the recommended daily intake. For example, a daily dose of 200I.E. applies to vitamin D3 from the nutritional medicine societies. (5µg) as recommended. As long as the consumption recommendation is not much higher, the preparation is classified as a food or dietary supplement and maybe sold with customary trading rights. Available as a drug and subject to pharmacy and prescription, it is also available in ampoules in a dosage of 100,000 IU for intramuscular injection.

ORTHOMOLECULAR MEDICINE - HIGHLY DOSED VITAL SUBSTANCES

Interestingly, in orthomolecular medicine, diseases are prevented and treated with high-dose vitamins, minerals, and trace elements - that is, with the active ingredients in dietary supplements. In this particular discipline of medicine, the health effects of the body's essential substances are used instead of foreign substances. Due to the high dose therapy and the associated intake of large amounts of vital importance, attention must be paid to their purity. Therefore, your doctor may prescribe a higher dose than what is legally allowed on the label. At this point, I consciously refrain from discussing whether the nutritional medicine societies' daily intake recommendations make sense for health. marketingmediaweb

LIMITS

If you want to read into the world of safe upper long-term dosing, you will find what you are looking for on the Internet for UL (Upper Intake Level) and NOAEL (no observed adverse effect level).

DISEASE-RELATED STATEMENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED

The statements that may be made on the packaging are severely restricted by the law so that no comments may be made about what or what the ingredient is useful for. Health-related statements are only possible and prescribed in the so-called health claims to a minimal extent. Unfortunately, this means that Dr. Gmeiner's products may only make statements that conform to health claims.

NO LEGAL HARMONY WITHIN THE EUROPEAN UNION

It isn't easy to understand why the national laws on distributing food supplements have not been harmonized to date.  technologywebdesign

For example, it means that the proper dosage can vary significantly from one EU country to the next. Of course, Switzerland also has its national law. For example, in Switzerland, the trace element selenium may only be offered in a recommended dosage of a maximum of 60µg per daily dose. In comparison, capsules with 200µg are readily available in Austria. As a doctor with a nutritional focus on vitamins and minerals, I discover real selenium deficiency in many patients. I am happy to prescribe the patient two capsules per day of 200 µg selenium. For the same dose, you would have to use 6 ½ pills of a Swiss preparation answerhop
