COMPL'ALIM

Food supplements are food products intended to complement a normal diet. This is currently a market of over 2.4 billion euros in 2022, involving various distribution channels: pharmacies (50%), large-scale retail (16%), e-commerce (8%). Their consumption is experiencing significant growth in France, where about 20% of adults incorporate these products into their daily lives; a growth that raises reflections on its implications for public health and regulations. Given their characteristics, food supplements are not trivial products. They can present health risks in case of misuse. This state-owned startup is sponsored by the Directorate General for Food at the Ministry of Agriculture. Our mission: To enable the circulation of food supplements that comply with regulations, are safe in terms of public health, and adapted to the physiological needs of consumers.
