The Health Surveillance Agency of Natal (VISA Natal in Portuguese), in partnership with Sebrae-RN and with the support of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), conducted a Technical Seminar on Dietary Supplements, which addressed health regulations, industrialization, and the marketing of these products. The event also marked the launch of a brochure and a technical manual containing guidelines for the public and entrepreneurs in the sector.

During the event, the brochure and the technical manual on Dietary Supplements, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Herbal Products were launched. This material is the result of collaboration between Gabrielle Medeiros, a Nutrition student at UFRN, and VISA Natal. “The brochure is aimed at the general consumer, while the technical material is intended for companies and technical managers, with the goal of promoting safer marketing and production of supplements in the municipality,” Sônia explained.
