Nutraceuticals [Neutraceuticals] - It's for Good Health, naturally.
DEFINITION: Nutraceutical is a portmanteau of "nutrition" and "pharmaceutical" and refers natural substances that claim to have a medicinal effect on human health. The medical community has described nutraceuticals as "any substance that may be considered a food or part of a food and provides medicinal or health benefits, including the prevention and treatment of disease." Dr. Stephen DeFelice, M.D. Fonder and Chairman of the Foundation for Innovation in Medicine.
Simply stated, nutraceuticals have purported specific health or medical benefits. For example, they may prevent or treat specific diseases, which means that they have properties extending beyond simple nutritional functions. Nutraceuticals can come from plant, marine, animal, and microbial sources. Specifically, nutraceuticals include whole foods, food additives, herbs, phytonutrients (nutrients found in the skin of many vegetables and fruits, as well as in grains and seeds), probiotics, and vitamin, mineral and herbal supplements.
Promoting Nutraceuticals in Medicine:
- Higher Confidence in Product Quality and Effectiveness
- Improved Market for Nutraceutical Products
- Increased Public Awareness
- Increased Healthcare Industry Awareness
- Establishment of a Self-Governing Agenda
