What is Health Supplement Registration?

Vitamins, minerals, protein powders, and herbal or botanical supplements all require registration before they can legally be imported, distributed, or sold in the UAE. Most standard supplements without therapeutic claims register through Dubai Municipality's Montaji portal, while products making disease-related or medical claims fall under a stricter federal pathway. The UAE also maintains a strict list of prohibited ingredients, so formula screening is one of the most important steps before you apply.

What's Involved in Registering Your Supplement?

Prohibited Ingredient Screening: We check your formula against the UAE's restricted list — including certain stimulants and hormonal precursors — before you invest in a full application.

Bilingual, Compliant Labelling: Dosage, ingredients, warnings, and usage instructions are prepared in Arabic and English to meet Dubai Municipality's technical guidelines.

Certificate of Analysis & Stability Data: An ISO-accredited lab report and shelf-life study are submitted alongside your product dossier.

Correct Regulatory Pathway: We confirm whether your product belongs on Montaji or requires the stricter MOHAP pathway, based on its claims and ingredients.

Long-Term Validity: Once approved, most supplement registrations remain valid for several years before renewal is required.
