DIFFERENCES BETWEEN FOOD SUPPLEMENTS AND MEDICINES...
Unlike medicines,
food supplements do not undergo official registration,
they only receive a hygiene certificate — a document
confirming the product's safety and allowing it to be marketed.
No proof of effectiveness from the manufacturer is required.
Systematic independent quality control of food supplements is not mandatory.
COMPARISON:
* Registration:
Food supplements receive a hygiene certificate,
not requiring proof of their effectiveness. Medicines undergo complex studies and checks to confirm their effectiveness and safety before obtaining registration.
* Quality Control:
Continuous independent quality control of dietary supplements is not mandatory,
while medicines undergo strict quality control at all stages of production.
* Proof of Effectiveness:
Medicines undergo clinical trials on healthy individuals and patients to confirm their effectiveness and correct dosage. Such studies are not required for dietary supplements.
* Standardization:
Medicines must strictly adhere to the formula and content of active ingredients,
whereas dietary supplements may contain non-standardized components.
* Registration and authorization:
Medicines must obtain permission to be sold after an evaluation of their safety,
quality, and effectiveness.
Для пищевых добавок такое разрешение не требуется.
* Продажа:
Лекарства могут продаваться только в аптеках,
тогда как пищевые добавки доступны в аптеках и магазинах здорового питания.
Важно помнить,
что лекарства проходят строгие проверки и имеют доказанную эффективность,
в то время как у пищевых добавок эффективность может вызывать сомнения.
Необходимо учитывать также сетевой маркетинг — при предложении препаратов не всегда ясно,
кем они разработаны.
Нет гарантий,
что продукция была хранена правильно,
in case of problems, no one is liable. Sellers "from hands" will not provide information about the proper storage of the drugs, whereas for medicines this information is indicated on the packaging.
