Methodology: Qualitative, descriptive and propositive design, with analytical and deductive method, of mixed character, by implementing an interview to specialists in the subject; and documentary by means of the analysis of methodological, documentary and field instruments, gathering diverse sources of legal, nutrition and informative aspects. Results: Dietary supplements ‘'are a good tool as long as they are used correctly’' so that a more accessible price can contribute to improve people's nutrition. Diaz (2020). From the fiscal perspective Contreras (2020), points out that if supplements are properly regulated, safe, of good quality, they would guarantee health benefits. Conclusions: The proposal to reform the Law was achieved, as a contribution of what would be an initiative to reform the Value Added Tax Law.REFERENCES
