 __Relevance to algae:__ This Directive establishes the EU framework for food supplements — concentrated sources of nutrients or other substances with a nutritional or physiological effect, marketed in dose form (capsules, tablets, powders, ampoules, etc.). Critically, this is a __Directive, not a Regulation__ (see [[algae:eu_legislation_general|General on EU Legislation]] for the distinction): it sets harmonised rules for vitamins and minerals used in supplements, but for __other substances__ — including the great majority of algal biomass and algal extracts used in supplements — it leaves considerable scope to national implementation. This is the source of one of the most practically important features of EU algae regulation for supplement producers. __Relevance to algae:__ This Directive establishes the EU framework for food supplements — concentrated sources of nutrients or other substances with a nutritional or physiological effect, marketed in dose form (capsules, tablets, powders, ampoules, etc.).
