Over-the-Counter (OTC) and Dietary Supplements

Demonstrate the compliance of your supplements and OTC drugs

The global over-the-counter (OTC) drugs and dietary supplements market is driven by a general desire for lifestyle improvement, a rise in consumer awareness of preventative healthcare, aging populations and the proliferation of distribution channels.¹

Increased demand for private-label products in this category has amplified the need for demonstrating transparency and good manufacturing practices, which can help build customer loyalty for retailers.

While the dietary supplement industry remains an under-regulated environment, the OTC drugs and pharmaceutical markets are ruled by stringent regulations, so producers need to stay on top of regulatory requirements to remain compliant.

Given the current and future growing demand, manufacturers and retailers need a provider they can trust with a global network of experts and laboratories to help them stay on top of regulatory compliance.
