    Abstract:
    Dietary supplements are increasingly popular. Supplements include substances such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids, fibers and botanicals. Directive 2002/46/EC foresees the use as food supplements of vitamins and minerals listed in the Annexes to the Directive. The Directive challenged the importance of a European regulatory framework for this products to be adopted by the member states. To date herbal products without any therapeutic activity have been included in food supplements. This review summarizes the main legislations on food supplements focusing on herbal products or derivatives.
