Introduction
Korean dietary supplements are gaining popularity thanks to aggressive marketing and the fashion for Korean cosmetics and nutraceuticals. However, should you trust these products? Many entrepreneurs buy Korean supplements in bulk, hoping for high quality, but not everyone knows that in South Korea, control over dietary supplements is much weaker than in Russia and Europe.
In this article, we will look at why Korean dietary supplements do not always meet high quality standards, how their production is regulated, and why it is worth giving preference to trusted suppliers.
How are dietary supplements regulated in Korea?
South Korea is known for its advanced technologies in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, however, when it comes to dietary supplements, quality and safety controls are not as strict as in Russia and the EU.
Key features of Korean regulation of dietary supplements:
- Equation with food products – unlike medicines, dietary supplements in Korea do not undergo mandatory clinical trials.
- Lack of strict control standards – companies may list ingredients on the packaging, but the actual content of ingredients is not always verified.
- Addition of undeclared ingredients – Korean dietary supplements often contain prohibited or undeclared ingredients that can be dangerous.
- Marketing gimmicks – packaging and advertising can create a false impression of the high effectiveness of a product.
Fact: In 2023, over 100 cases of discrepancies between the declared composition of dietary supplements and the actual content of active substances were identified in South Korea.
Why is buying Korean dietary supplements in bulk not always a good idea?
Although Korean dietary supplements look attractive due to their beautiful packaging and loud claims, there are several risks that wholesale buyers face:
1. Unstable quality
- Without strict testing, the composition and concentration of active ingredients may differ greatly from those stated.
- There may be impurities and contamination that do not pass inspection.
2. Lack of international certificates
- Many Korean dietary supplements do not have GMP, ISO, HACCP – standards that guarantee safety.
- In Russia, some Korean additives are banned due to non-compliance with Customs Union regulations.
3. Problems with customs clearance
- Lack of necessary documents may result in delays or return of cargo.
- Dietary supplements are often labeled as “food products,” which makes it difficult to sell them in the Russian Federation.
4. Overpaying for brand, not quality
- Many Korean dietary supplements cost 2-3 times more than their analogues, but do not have the best characteristics.
