Regulatory and certification requirements for the health product industry

As a product directly related to consumer health, health products face different regulations and certification requirements in different countries and regions. The following are regulatory frameworks for several key markets:
- USA : The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates health supplements under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA). Enterprises must ensure that their products are safe, but dietary supplements do not require FDA approval before being marketed. Health product companies are required to comply with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and ensure the accuracy of product labeling, prohibiting false or misleading statements.
-EU : The EU has strict regulations on health products, and products must comply with the Food Supplements Regulation (2002/46/EC). Any health product must be approved by each member state before entering the market, and the label cannot claim that the product treats diseases, and the health claim must be certified by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
- China: Health products in the Chinese market require approval from the State Administration for Market Regulation. Enterprises must provide scientific evidence to prove the efficacy of their products and strictly control labeling and promotional language. In addition, the domestic market has high regulatory requirements for imported health products, which must go through filing or registration procedures.
The Importance of Certification: In order to enhance consumer trust and market competitiveness, many health product companies choose third-party certifications such as NSF, USP, or ISO standards, which can ensure the quality, safety, and effectiveness of their products.
