No. Food supplements are governed primarily as foods under [Directive 2002/46/EC](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2002/46/oj), with labelling rules under the [EU Food Information to Consumers Regulation (No 1169/2011)](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2011/1169/oj) and any health claim restricted by [Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2006/1924/oj). The standard for what may appear on pack is strict — but the standard for digital transparency around the product is wide open, and that's where SmartLinks lives. ### Can the QR show our third-party Certificate of Analysis? Yes — and increasingly, you'll be expected to. Independent organisations such as [USP Verified](https://www.usp.org/verification-services/verified-mark) and [NSF Certified for Sport](https://www.nsf.org/sport) test supplement batches against label claims; the QR can deep-link to the live CoA for the specific lot the customer is holding. That's the most efficient way to address the well-documented gap between label claims and tested content in this category. ### How does this help with subscription and adherence? Wellness is a category where consumption rhythm matters as much as the sale. A scan on first use can set up a refill reminder timed to the bottle's days-of-supply, surface dosage and stacking guidance, and route the next purchase to your own commerce — not Amazon. [WHO research](https://iris.who.int/handle/10665/42682) has put long-term adherence to chronic therapy at around 50% in developed countries; closing that gap is both better outcomes for the customer and recurring revenue for the brand. ### What about essential oils, aromatherapy and other 'cosmetic-adjacent' wellness products? Those products sit under the [EU Cosmetic Products Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2009/1223/oj) rather than food law, but the connected-packaging pattern is the same: authenticity, ingredient transparency, usage guidance, and reorder. The QR doesn't care which regulatory regime the product is in — it routes to the right experience for the right scanner. ## Ready to Transform Your Wellness Products?
