Poland’s Ministry of Health sets the country’s maximum intake values for vitamin and minerals for its populations in a move that attempts to address a lack of European harmonisation on this matter.
The Diet Supplements Team is an advisory and advisory body of the Chief Sanitary Inspector. One of its tasks is determination of maximum doses of vitamins and minerals in the recommended daily portion in dietary supplements, above which they show therapeutic effects. In some recently published resolutions maximum levels for certain ingredients in food supplements were nationally defined, among them: Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Folic acid and Niacin, but also for manganese and zinc and other ingredients.
