NUTRACEUTICALS
BENEFICIAL?

2. INTRODUCTION
• Dr. Stephen De Felice first used the word ‘Nutraceutical’ in 1989.
• The term is an amalgamation of ‘nutrition’ and ’pharmaceutical’.
• They are food or parts of food that confer various health benefits, including the
prevention/treatment of diseases.
• They do so by prolonging the need for conventional medicines or serving as a non-
pharmacological alternative for diseases and conditions.
• There is an increase in the isolation of nutrients from food products, which are being
used extensively.

3. • Evidence has shown that nutraceuticals have numerous benefits and can considerably
improve the quality of life.
• Some common applications of nutraceuticals include the management of dermatitis,
irritable bowel syndrome and improving cognitive health [1].

4. • The category of nutraceuticals has become extensive- gone are those days when
people would think of only fish oil soft gel capsules.
• Nutraceuticals are made of other nutrient-rich substances like whey, moringa, flax
and chia seeds and turmeric, to name a few.
• With a growing demand for nutraceuticals, companies must formulate nutraceuticals
to meet their requirements.
• However, they often struggle to meet the regulatory requirements.
• Outsourcing to a contract facility like the Food Research Lab can help
nutraceutical companies address the challenges related to nutraceutical formulation.
