Supplements made in Latvia: how to check the origin, and Stivits facts

Quick answer

Stivits supplements are made in Latvia. The factory is SIA Pharma Market Solutions, Kargo k-1, Mārupe, near Riga, with almost 100 employees. It holds GMP certificate GMP-FS-01 and HACCP certificate HACCP-01, both valid to 17.05.2027, and ISO 22000:2018 certificate MSC-22-1384, valid to 07.01.2029. The seller is HYPERPHARM OÜ, Tallinn. It sells Stivits directly at stivits.com, without wholesalers or pharmacies.

Anyone can check where a supplement is made in four steps. Read the label for the company that markets the product. Check that the product is in the Latvian PVD supplement register. Ask the seller for the factory name and certificate numbers. Then check the certification body in the LATAK list.

How to check where a supplement is made

The label names the company that markets the product, and that is not always the factory. Under Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011, Article 8(1) and Article 9(1)(h), the label must carry the name and address of the operator under whose name the food is marketed. The manufacturer's name is not required when it is a different company.

For a food supplement, country of origin is not always on the label. Under Article 9(1)(i) and Article 26(2)(a) of the same regulation, it is mandatory where leaving it out could mislead the buyer about the true origin, for example when the label shows an address in another country.

A practical checklist:

1. Read the label. Find the name and address of the company that markets the product.
2. Search the PVD register. In Latvia, a supplement may be placed on the market only after notification to the Food and Veterinary Service (PVD) and entry in the supplement register (Cabinet Regulation No 685, point 3). The notification names the manufacturer (point 9). PVD publishes the register on its website (point 19). It can be searched at pakalpojumi.pvd.gov.lv, for example by product name.
3. Ask the seller. Request the factory name, the certificate numbers and their validity dates.
4. Check the certification body. LATAK is Latvia's national accreditation body. Its list of current accreditations shows which bodies are accredited and for which scope.

A label for the Latvian market must also carry set wording under Cabinet Regulation No 685, point 21: the name "uztura bagātinātājs" (food supplement), the daily dose, a warning not to exceed it, a note that a supplement is not a substitute for a varied diet, a note to keep it away from small children, and the daily amounts of vitamins and minerals. Under point 24.1, labels and ads may not claim to prevent, treat or cure disease.

  • Which magnesium to choose: glycinate (bisglycinate), citrate, malate or oxide: Three numbers decide which magnesium to choose: how much magnesium is in the daily serving, how much vitamin B6 comes with it, and how many tablets a day you are happy to take. Stivits sells four forms as food supplements: bisglycinate 300 mg in 3 capsules, citrate 400 mg in 2 tablets, malate 230–460 mg in 1–2 tablets and oxide 500 mg in 1 capsule. Bisglycinate is the same form as magnesium glycinate. Magnesium contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue; the claim applies from 56.25 mg of magnesium per serving. A varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important. The EU register does not divide claims by form: they belong to magnesium, not to citrate or bisglycinate. The EFSA reference level for magnesium from food supplements is 250 mg a day; of these four products only 1 tablet of malate, 230 mg, is below it.
