UNSPSC 50501800: Combination nutritional supplements

A dietary or nutritional supplement is intended to provide nutrients that may otherwise not be consumed in sufficient quantities through a varied diet. Supplements are generally understood to include vitamins, minerals, fiber, fatty acids, or amino acids, and other substances. This Class is intended for products containing two or more different nutritional elements in combination.

UNSPSC 50501800 Combination nutritional supplements is a Class code covering multi-ingredient vitamin, mineral, and herbal formulations that state and local governments procure for employee wellness programs, institutional food service, and public health initiatives.
