Understanding Dietary Supplements
Dietary supplements include a wide range of vitamins, minerals, herbal ingredients, probiotics, and products commonly marketed for sports nutrition. Depending on their composition and the Regulatory framework of each market, these products are intended to supplement the diet and support specific nutritional or physiological functions. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Navigating these evolving Regulatory landscapes is critical to ensuring safety, consumer trust, and successful market access. Freyr offers full-spectrum Regulatory solutions tailored to the complex needs of manufacturers and marketers worldwide for

Structure/Function Claims: Describe how a nutrient supports normal body functions (e.g., "Contributes to normal brain function").
