Nutritional supplements are considered as supplements to an inadequate diet or supplements to prevent deficiency diseases. A nutritional supplement is a concentrated source of nutrients or other substances with a nutritional or physiological effect on the organism, for example:
| Vitamins |
Minerals |
| Amino acid |
Fatty acid |

The European Commission has established harmonised rules to help ensure that food supplements are safe and properly labeled. The main EU legislation for food supplements is Directive 2002/46/EC when it concerns vitamins and minerals.
