Scientific Sources and Regulatory References
Primary sources from German and European regulators, clinical research databases and public health agencies, clearly distinct from our development prototypes.
Research about a substance, plant or strain does not demonstrate the efficacy or commercial authorization of a Pharmed UG finished product. An EMA herbal monograph cannot be transferred automatically to a food supplement.
Germany: Nahrungsergänzungsmittelverordnung (NemV)

Regulatory law determines market requirements. Safety opinions inform risk assessments. Scientific studies inform possible mechanisms and effects under defined conditions. Marketing permission requires product-level compliant claims and labeling.
New concepts: nasal spray and D3 + K2 blister tablets
15 mL saline nasal spray: A nasal spray is not a food supplement. Its proposed intended use and principal mechanism determine whether medical-device or medicinal-product rules apply. Packaging, microbiological control and any claims require expert evaluation. BfArM classification guidance ↗.
30 blister-packed D3 + K2 tablets: A non-final supplement concept is being evaluated using a provisional adult daily target of vitamin D3 20 µg and K2 25 µg. The image displays different amounts (25 µg D3 + 75 µg K2); these are not verified label values. BfR discusses proposed recommended maximum contents and warns about vitamin K with anticoagulants.

Neither concept is an approved product. The generated images should be used only with clear development/mockup disclaimers.
