Global Solution for Dietary Supplement Regulations
Dietary supplements, from vitamins and minerals to protein powders and herbal extracts, have become integral to modern health routines. But just because a product is labeled as a “dietary supplement” doesn’t guarantee it’s safe, effective, or legally compliant.
That’s where dietary supplement regulations come in. These are the rules and standards set by regulatory bodies like the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), designed to ensure that supplements are safe to consume, truthfully labeled, and manufactured with quality in mind.
Whether you’re launching a new product line or expanding into a new market, supplement compliance is essential to protect your consumers and your brand.
Why Supplement Compliance Matters
As health and wellness trends grow, so does the market for dietary supplements. However, with an overwhelming number of options available, consumers are putting more trust than ever into the claims printed on product labels.
The problem? Not all supplements are created equal or regulated equally.
Why compliance is crucial:
- Consumer safety: Avoid harmful dosages, unapproved ingredients, and contamination risks.
- Market access: Each country has unique ingredients, dosage, and labeling laws.
- Brand integrity: Build trust with transparent and compliant labels.
- Regulatory confidence: Avoid fines, import delays, and costly recalls.

Common Challenges Businesses Face
We’ve helped hundreds of health brands overcome the same issues you’re likely facing right now:
- Complex labeling standards: Nutritional labels vary drastically across the US, EU, UK, and APAC (Asia-Pacific). A compliant label in one region may be rejected in another.
- Traceability and transparency: Increasing demands require detailed ingredient sourcing, batch records, and safety testing.
- Rapidly changing regulations: Rules around allowable ingredients and claims shift constantly, especially when expanding into multiple markets at once.
Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Most compliance issues we solve start with mislabeling, missing documentation, or incorrect ingredient formulations.
Real-World Examples: Compliance Missteps You Can Avoid
- Ingredient Dosage Oversights in Australia
A client preparing to ship a multivitamin to Australia requested an expedited audit. During our review, our team flagged ingredients like Vitamin A and Ashwagandha for exceeding the permissible local dosages. By proactively identifying the issue, we helped the client adjust their formulations, avoiding costly delays and potential product recalls. - Capsule Composition Complications
In another case, a client importing vitamins to Australia was unaware of the region’s strict rules around capsule ingredients. Our Product Compliance team identified that silica, used in the capsule, could only be included with specific permitted excipients. We revised the formula and documentation to meet requirements, ensuring a smooth import process.
Each of these audits prevented regulatory blocks and reinforced the client’s trust in their own product lineup, proof that thorough compliance checks are always worth the investment.
