Private-label supplement launch guide for Romania
Romania’s supplement market is expanding through pharmacy chains like Catena and Dr.Max, alongside a growing DTC ecommerce segment.

The supplement industry is anchored by major pharmacy chains Catena and Dr.Max, with emerging DTC brands and ANSPDCP labeling oversight shaping the market. Key commercial cities include Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Timișoara, Iași, and Brașov.
