The paper discussed various aspects of using diet supplements in human nutrition. The dynamics of this food production in 2008 – 2014 was characterized and the planned pace of production growth till 2018 was provided. The universality of diet supplement use by different consumer groups was assessed. The main reasons for the consumption of diet supplements were supplied.

It was proven that the products are purchased too eagerly due to the common access to diet supplements and encouraging producer’s commercials. It was stated that prior to the decision on using diet supplements, it is essential to assess the person’s nutrition. Diet supplementation should be directed at supplying only these bioactive components that the body is deficient in or that are scarce in a daily diet. Therefore, the order of food product selection that should be abided by when balancing a diet property were suggested.
