Dietary products, which include various sorts of vitamins, food for the sportsmen, children food, articles for specific nutritive purposes, (and those suited for diabetics’ needs, for examples) were until recently mostly soled in pharmacies, while now they can be found more often in shops as well, above all in hyper-markets and big supermarkets, together with the other commodity goods. Most part of what is today been subsumed under the criteria of dietary products was until two years ago treated as subsidiary health remedy. Hyper-production of various products of this part of pharmaceutical industry has lead to the fact that during last several years all the more of these products are being advertised and sold in regular shops, specialized shops for healthy food, and especially in hyper-markets. Simultaneously, together with the change in legal regulations criteria for differentiation of medicines and medical remedies from the dietary products, which can also be both in sales objects, were made.
Dietary products can still be sold in pharmacies – in their non-medical parts – as cosmetics are, for example, sold.
