Dietary supplement or medicine?
A vitamin-mineral complex is a medicine containing active ingredients in therapeutic doses. A dietary supplement is a supplement that may include the same types of compounds. The difference is that the vitamins and minerals are present in subtherapeutic amounts. This fact is especially worth considering during pregnancy.
The second difference is hidden in the technical requirements. In order for a full-fledged vitamin and mineral complex to be approved for sale, it must undergo serious clinical trials. For dietary supplements, since they are not drugs, less stringent standards apply (only safety requirements remain unchanged).
Officially, Femibion tablets are a dietary supplement. However, it is worth noting that the dosage of vitamins and iodine in it practically covers, or even exceeds, the daily needs of the female body. If we compare the composition of the product with some classic complexes, for example Complivit Trimester 1, then in terms of the dosage of individual vitamins and minerals it is in many ways not inferior.
Why then is the instruction for the Femibion 1 vitamins labeled “dietary supplement”? This is due to the peculiarities of the classification systems of different countries. The additive is initially produced in Austria for Germany. All preventive products on their territory, including vitamin and mineral complexes, are classified as dietary supplements. Femibion was registered in Russia without adaptation to the local classification.
This information should not be taken as advertising. Rather, this is a signal for a more responsible use of Femibion. Despite its status as a dietary supplement, it requires a clear dosage regimen and consideration of possible individual contraindications.
