Abstract: . In the current global conditions, of intense pollution, daily stress or sedentary lifestyle, many consumers choose to improve their quality of life, consuming more and more food supplements. We mention that some of the supplements may have unwanted effects, as a result of consumption in excessive doses, inadequate properties of the active compounds, either due to drug-food supplement interactions or falsifications. Today there are few countries (France, Czech Republic, Italy, Slovenia, USA) that have implemented Nutrivigilance - a new science and activity that detects, evaluates and understands the interactions produced by food supplements, with the aim of increasing consumer safety. In the present work, we aim to present the risks of the uncontrolled consumption of some food supplements and to raise awareness of the importance of developing nutrivigilance in all countries, especially in those where it has not been implemented at all. In this context, we want nutrivigilance to be implemented in our country, as is pharmacovigilance for the use of medicines and medical devices
