Summary/Abstract: Dietary supplements are becoming increasingly popular and often enjoy unlimited consumer confidence. On the other hand, the production and trade of these products creates a rapidly developing market worth billions of PLN. In my paper, starting from the origins of legal regulations, through the definition of dietary supplements. I present current problems in this field. I draw attention, in particular, to the most important aspects, such as labelling, advertising, the manner in which the dietary supplements are introduced to the market, and the composition of these supplements and its control. Each of these areas raises doubts and controversies, and loopholes in legal regulations create scope for numerous abuses that may threaten consumers. An important element of the paper is the analysis of the results of the audit carried out by the Supreme Chamber of Control and the solutions proposed by it.
