Food supplements are concentrated sources of nutrients or other substances with a nutritional or physiological effect such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fibre, enzymes, various plants and herbal extracts.
Food supplements are intended to correct nutritional deficiencies, maintain an adequate intake of certain nutrients or to support specific physiological functions. Unlike drugs, supplements are not permitted to be marketed for the purpose of treating, diagnosing, preventing, or curing diseases.
In the EU, food supplements are regulated as foods.
Food supplements are excluded from the obligation to indicate nutritional values.The obligation is related to the indication of the name of the categories of nutrients or other substances that characterize the product.

Furthermore, Neotron provides analyses of contaminants in food supplements like pyrrolizidine alkaloids, heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), hydroxyanthracene derivatives and various further analyses.
