Vitamin and Supplement Submissions
Not all vitamins and supplements are classified as simple food products—some require MHRA approval as medicines due to their ingredients, dosage levels, or health claims. At eCTD Pharma, we specialize in managing the full regulatory submission process for medicinal supplements, ensuring compliance with MHRA, EMA, FDA, and global health authorities.
​
When Do Supplements Require an eCTD Submission?
​
A supplement may be classified as a medicinal product if it:
​
-
Contains high-dose vitamins that exceed standard nutritional levels.
-
Makes explicit medicinal claims, such as treating or preventing diseases.
-
Includes herbal extracts that have pharmacological effects.
-
Falls under Traditional Herbal Registration (THR) or requires a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA)
​
In these cases, companies must submit a full eCTD dossier to the MHRA or other relevant regulatory agencies to gain approval before marketing the product.
