New Dietary Supplements Law 2026: What Has Changed for Buyers and Sellers

The dietary supplements (DS) market in Ukraine is growing rapidly. According to analysts, in 2025 Ukrainians spent 30% more on dietary supplements than in 2023. This was driven by increased interest in a healthy lifestyle and changes in legislation. In 2026, new rules came into effect that will significantly impact the DS market.

What Is a Dietary Supplement According to the Law?

A dietary supplement (DS) is a food product containing vitamins, minerals, amino acids, plant extracts, or other beneficial substances. Unlike medicines, DS are not intended to treat diseases but serve as a supplement to the diet.

Until 2026, regulation of this market in Ukraine was quite vague. The new rules aim to harmonize with European standards and enhance consumer safety.

Key Changes in 2026

1. Mandatory Registration of Dietary Supplements

Now all dietary supplements sold in Ukraine must undergo state registration. This applies to both domestic and imported products. The register is maintained by the Ministry of Health of Ukraine and is open for verification.

2. New Labeling Requirements

Manufacturers are now required to clearly indicate on the label:

• Full list of ingredients
• Dosage and method of use
• Warnings about contraindications
• Expiration date
• Manufacturer’s contact information

3. Ban on Certain Claims

The law strictly prohibits using claims about disease treatment in DS advertising. Phrases like “cures,” “heals,” or “destroys” are forbidden. It is allowed to mention support, replenishment of deficiencies, and improvement of well-being.

4. Strengthened Quality Control

Government authorities have expanded powers to verify that the composition of DS matches what is declared on the label. Fines for violations have increased significantly.

What Does This Mean for Buyers?

For consumers, the new rules primarily mean greater market transparency:

• Check registration — before buying, verify if the product is registered with the Ministry of Health
• Read the label — check ingredients, dosage, expiration date
• Avoid products with false promises — if the manufacturer promises a healing effect, it is a violation of the law
• Choose reliable manufacturers — such as Tibetan Formula, which operates under ISO 9001 and ISO 22000 standards

What Does This Mean for Sellers?

Manufacturers and importers are required to:

• Register their products with the Ministry of Health
• Undergo laboratory testing
• Obtain a certificate of conformity
• Comply with labeling requirements
