Amazon’s Certification Requirements for Dietary Supplement

Amazon’s Certification Requirements for Dietary Supplement Products

With the demand for dietary supplements increasing day by day around the world, so do the certification and regulatory requirements for the sale of such products on e-commerce platforms like Amazon. From vitamins, minerals, and herbs to protein powder, amino acids, and botanicals, all these health supplements need to pass strict criteria to be approved for sale on Amazon. Chromak Research offers complete test services to guarantee that the sellers achieve Amazon’s dietary supplement certification for compliance with government bodies such as the FDA and to ISO/IEC 17025 standards.

Understanding Amazon’s Dietary Supplement Certification Policy

Amazon selling of supplements requires compliance with some regulation and document requirements. Amazon demands that any supplement comply with regulations of a particular country, like federal laws in the United States. Whether your supplement product is a bestseller or its newly launched, Amazon requires proper documentation to ensure safety, quality, and accuracy of labeling.

One of them is a genuine Certificate of Analysis (COA) issued from an ISO/IEC 17025 certified laboratory or an in-house cGMP compliant lab. We are experts at Chromak Research in laboratory testing dietary supplement products and providing COAs that support the most updated policies and guidelines of Amazon.

Regulatory Requirements for Dietary Supplements on Amazon

Before dietary supplements can be listed for sale on Amazon, sellers must ensure that their products comply with a set of important regulatory standards, which include:

FDA Compliance

All supplements must comply with:

– 21 CFR 117: Hazard analysis and risk-based preventive controls (HARPC) for human food.

3. Labeling Regulations
