EU legislation established the factors that should be applied for the setting of maximum levels of vitamins and minerals in food supplements and other foods enriched with these nutrients, considering the different sensitivity of the population groups, in order to minimize the risks of an excessive intake. A decade and a half later, these maximum levels have not yet been set. Because of this delay, in many European countries maximum daily amounts have been established for food supplements, with great differences from one country to another. In France, these maximum levels have just been updated taking into account the age, the physiological situation and the state of health of the population groups: children of 1-3 years, children of 3-10 years, adolescents of 11-17 years, adults, women with probability of pregnancy, pregnant women, lactating women, menopause, old people, smokers, patients receiving anticoagulant treatment, renal patients, etc.
欧盟立法规定了在设定食品补充剂和其他富含这些营养素的食品中维生素和矿物质的最高限量时应考虑的因素，同时考虑到不同人群的敏感性，以尽量减少过量摄入的风险。十五年后，这些最高限量仍未设定。由于这一延迟，许多欧洲国家已为食品补充剂设定了每日最大摄入量，各国之间差异很大。在法国，这些最高限量刚刚根据人群的年龄、生理状况和健康状况进行了更新：1至3岁儿童、3至10岁儿童、11至17岁青少年、成年人、有怀孕可能性的女性、孕妇、哺乳期妇女、更年期女性、老年人、吸烟者、接受抗凝治疗的患者、肾病患者等。
