Such a big event is very well-timed, as the draft Law of Ukraine “On Amendments to the Law of Ukraine “On the safety and quality of food” is being considered by the relevant committees of Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and the decisions adopted by the Conference may influence the final version of this law.

– The history of use of dietary supplements begins in 1927. InUkraine they appeared not so long ago, but their use and circulation causes a lot of questions, which, unfortunately, are not always easy to answer.
