when they have been expressly approved through legal provisions for the respective purpose. There are no binding maximum levels for the ingredients of food supplements eitheron the national or European levels.

Auch werden Nahrungsergänzungsmittel in gleichen Darreichungsformen wie Arzneimittel, z.B. in Tabletten-, Kapsel-, Pulverform oder als flüssige Zubereitungen, angeboten. Dies verdeutlicht, dass sich Nahrungsergänzungsmittel und Arzneimittel zum Teil sehr ähnlich sind.

In principle a balanced, diverse diet supplies a healthy body with all the essential substances. In most cases supplements are, therefore, superfluous. However, there are exceptions to this general rule. A one-sided or inadequate diet can mean that not enough essential nutrients are taken up. During pregnancy and breastfeeding there is an elevated need for specific nutrients.

The intake of essential nutrients by older people may also be insufficient for instance as a consequence of chewing or swallowing disorders or a loss of appetite. The chronically sick may have an elevated need for essential nutrients, too. In these cases, dietary supplementation may be necessary or advisable. Whenever a food supplement is used as an additional measure to treat or heal diseases like a chronic gastrointestinal tract disorder, this should be done under medical supervision.

The International Nomenclature for Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI) is the system we have adopted for labeling and declaring our skincare ingredients. The multilingual and multinational labeling requirements implemented by the European Union require a full declaration of ingredients on personal care packaging.

This labeling standard denotes all ingredients according to their Latin (Chemical / Scientific) designation. Those manufacturers following the INCI are therefore required to label their ingredients as specified by the regulatory board. All companies selling personal care products in Europe, and most recently in Canada, are required by law to list their ingredients according to the INCI.
