This document discusses strategies for revitalizing mature brands in the Indian pharmaceutical market. It defines mature brands as those that are older, have long-held awareness but weakening associations, and are experiencing stagnating or declining sales.

It presents Interlink's two-stage model for assessing the revitalization potential of mature pharmaceutical brands in India based on parameters like brand goodwill and whether the brand or company is responsible for the decline. The model identifies brands worth investing in to revitalize versus those that should be divested or allowed to decline.

Executive Summary
Nutraceuticals, defined as any food or part of food which provides health benefits including
prevention or treatment of disease, have emerged as a necessity for consumers in developed as well
as developing countries. With changing lifestyle and related diseases, functional ingredients such as
vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids and probiotics, etc. have also become a part of this
category.
s these products
are meant for human consumption. As food products are reaching from one country to another,
maintaining safety and quality standards as per various regulatory guidelines set by the respective
governmentsbecomesimportant;which can bea realdriverfortheindustrygrowth.
In Indian context, along with FSSA, getting implemented, the nutraceutical producers must be
in tune with
need for product evaluation,
types of licenses required to import or manufacture and market a product in India
requirements for label claims
This white paper gives a snapshot of what is happening on the Indian regulatory front and
requirements to be met before entering Indian market.
Happy reading!

ife, whether human or animal, is nourished by food, and its
components like macro and micro nutrients. Though the food which
Lwe have been eating for years together is considered to be safe,
different technologies have led to development of new foods where some of
the existing characteristics of foods can get altered, either in a positive or a
negative way. But on the whole, these foods can be looked at as
supplementation to daily diet to have some positive effects. As per the Food
Safety Standard Act, 2006 (Chapter 4, Section 22) it has been recommended
thatFood should beclassifiedas follows
• Novelfoods
• Geneticallymodifiedfood
• Irradiatedfood
• Organic foods
• Foods forspecialdietaryuse
• Functionalfoods
• Nutraceuticals
• Health Supplements
This makes it very clear that Nutraceuticals are a part of the food segment
and it should not be considered as a form of pharmaceutical or drug
formulation.
Nutraceuticalfactsheet
Nutraceuticalbusiness: global and Indian
Globally the nutraceutical market was estimated to be US$ 140.1 billion in
2010. Of this USA and Europe formed the largest markets accounting to 36
percent and 25 percent respectively. Exhibit 1 portrays global neutraceutical
market.
US: In 2010, the US nutraceutical market stood at US $ 50.4 Billion and was
by far the largest nutraceutical market in the world. The dietary supplements
segment was growing at roughly 3.1 percent while the functional food and
beverages segment was growing at 5.6 percent. Currently, companies in the
USarelooking todiversifytheirproductsand areleaning moreand m o r e
towards natural nutraceutical ingredients in their product offering, mainly
due to the increasing consumer demand for all-natural, non-modified
functionalingredients.
Europe: The total European industry was valued at US $ 35 Billion in 2010.
Companies in Europe believe that product and ingredient innovation is the
way forward for the nutraceutical industry. Germany, Netherlands and
Sweden have emerged as the key nutraceutical innovation hubs in Europe,
while Great Britain and Spain have emerged as key test markets for new
products.
India: In 2010, the Indian nutra industry was estimated at US $ 2 Billion,
roughly 1.5 percent of the global nutraceutical industry. The existence and
consumerbelief thealternate medicines share in India could provide a
platform for the nutraceutical industry to capitalize on. Currently, an Indian
nascentmarketis trying to incorporate traditional herbal ingredients (usually
ayurvedic) into the nutraceutical portfolio. Example: Chyawanprash
supplements (market size US $74.5 Million in 2010). Broad segments of
Indian nutraceutical industry include Dietary supplement (40%) and
Functional food and beverage market (60%) (Refer exhibit 2). In India,
functional foods and beverages are expected to see increased consumption
over the next five years resulting in this segment garnering greater product
share (67%) in the market as opposed to dietary supplements (33%). The
total Indian nutraceuticals market in 2015 is expected to be approximately US
$5billion.
Nutraceuticalingredients
Developing nations like India, China and Brazil have emerged as key sourcing
destinations for agri-based raw materials, while Europe has evolved into a

nutraceutical ingredient hub. Indian nutraceutical ingredient market is around
US $250 million comprising of vitamins and minerals (36%), probiotics (9%),
omega 3fattyacids(5%)and others(50%).
Globally, the ingredient trend is shifting towards natural ingredients. In order
to make product successful in various regions, manufacturers are focusing on
culturalcustomizationtosuitspecificregionsand specifictargetgroups.
Major nutraceutical ingredients used world wide are Vitamins, Minerals, PUFA
or specialty lipids, Phytochemicals, Prebiotics, Probiotics, Amino acids,
Peptides, Proteins, Fibers, Carotenoids, Polyols and others like CoQ10,
Glucosamine,Chondroitin, Lipoicacid,Inositol, etc.
Ingredientsand diseaseconditions
Usually each formulation, be it a functional food or dietary supplement, is a
combination of 2-3 ingredients. Some of the key target areas for nutraceutical
ingredientsare
CardiovascularDisorders:Omega-3,Phytosterols,Fiber,Antioxidants
WeightManagement:HerbalExtracts,Fiber,Proteins,FattyAcids
Cognitive: Omega-3,Antioxidants,and Amino Acids
Bone and Joints:Omega-3, Vitamins, Minerals, Protein, Amino Acids,
Antioxidants,Botanicals
Regulatoryguidelines
Because nutraceuticals are not a part of pharmaceuticals and drugs
formulation, rules and regulations also tend to be different for this segment.
Indian government has recently implemented the new law FSSA (Food Safety
and Standards AOI). As a result, there exists a confusion in minds of new
entrantsregarding do’s& dont’sof Indian regulatrysystem.
Historicalperspective
All along before Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 was passed,
neutraceuticals were regulated under Prevention of Food Adulteration Act
and Rules (PFA). As on date, the regulations for foods and beverages are in a
stateof transitionfromPFA tothenewFSSA.
Pre2005
Multitude of laws and ministries were governing food and food processing
such as
1. ThePrevention of Food AdulterationAct, 1954
2. TheFruitProductsOrder,1955
3. TheMeatFood ProductsOrder,1973
4. TheVegetableOil Products(Control) Order,1947
5. TheEdible Oils Packaging (Regulation) Order,1998
6. TheSolventExtractedOil, De-oiledMeal, and Edible Flour (Control)
Order,1967
7. TheMilkand MilkProductsOrder,1990
8. EssentialCommoditiesAct,1955 relatingtofood
There were varied standards of food under these laws regarding
manufacturing,processing,packaging, etc.
2005-2006
A need felt for integrating all existing laws under one law as number of
committees, including the Standing Committee of Parliament on Agriculture
in its 12th Report submitted in April 2005, have emphasized the need. A
Group of Ministers (GOM) was appointed by Government of India to
propose the Integrated Food Law. Food Safety and Standards Bill, 2005 was
introduced in parliament and referred to the recommendations made by
Standing Committee on Agriculture. The Indian Food Safety and Standards

Bill (FSSB) 2005 was passed by parliament and signed by President on 23rd
August 2006, promising a major impact on the Indian Food Processing
Industry. The Food Safety and Standards Act aims to integrate the food safety
laws in the country in order to systematically and scientifically develop the
food processing industry and paradigm shift from a regulatory regime to self-
compliance. As part of the process of consolidation, the act proposes to
repeal above mentioned eight existing law related food safety. Two main
objectivesof theActare
?To introducea singlestatuerelatingtofood
?To provideforscientificdevelopmentof thefood processingindustry
The Act aims to establish a single reference point for all matters relating to
food safety and standards, by moving from multi-level, multi-departmental
control to a single line of command. It incorporates the salient provisions of
the Prevention of Food Adulteration (PFA) Act, 1954 and is based on
international legislation, instrumentalities and Codex Alimentarius
Commission.
Transitionperspective-theideal scenario
Food safetyand standardsact-2006
The Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 consolidates eight laws governing
the food sector and establishes the Food Safety and Standards Authority of
India (FSSAI) to regulate the sector and other allied committees. The FSSAI
would consist of a Chairperson and 22 members. The Chairperson would be
either an eminent food scientist or a civil servant not below the rank of
Secretary. Seven of the members would be ex-officio, not below the post of
Joint Secretary, from various ministries. Five members would be appointed by
rotation every three years from the States and Union Territories. The
Authority would have two representatives each from the food industry and
consumer organizations, three food technologists, two members from a
farmer's organization and one from retail organization. FSSAI will be aided
by several scientific panels and a Central Advisory Committee to lay down
standards for food safety. These standards will include specifications for
ingredients, contaminants, pesticide, biological hazards, labels and others.
Everyone in the food sector is required to get a license or a registration that
would be issued by local authorities. Temporary stall holders are exempted
from the license but need to get their businesses registered with the local
municipalityorPanchayat.
The law will be enforced through State Commissioners of Food Safety and
local level officials. The Act empowers the FSSA and State Food Safety
Authorities to monitor and regulate the food business operators. The
Commissioner of Food Safety of each state appoints a Designated Officer
(DO), not below the level of Sub-Divisional Officer, for a specific district
whose duties include issuing or canceling licenses, prohibiting sale of food
articles that violate specified standards, receiving report and samples of food
articles from Food Safety Officers and getting those analyzed. The State
Commissioner, on the recommendation of the Designated Officer, decides
whether a case of violation would be referred to a court of ordinary
jurisdiction or to a special court. The Act provides for a graded penalty
structure where the punishment depends on the severity of the violation.
Offences such as manufacturing, selling, storing or importing sub-standard
or misbranded food could incur a fine. Offences such as manufacturing,
distributing, selling or importing unsafe food, which result in injury, could
incur a prison sentence. The sentence could extend to life imprisonment in
case the violation causes death. Petty manufacturers who make their own
food, hawkers, and vendors to the temporary stall holders could be fined up
toINR 25,000if theyviolatethespecifiedstandards.
Regulatory Perspective of Nutraceuticals in India 4

Currentscenario
The Food Safety and Standard Rules, 2011 have been issued and have become
effective from 5th May, 2011. The Food Safety and Standard Authority has also
issued regulations with respect to Licensing and Registration of food business,
Packing and Labeling, Food products standard and additive etc. The Acts,
Rules and Regulations are now implemented from 5th August, 2011. Thus,
there is now one single legislation and specified authorities to regulate
manufacture, distribution and of sale nutraceuticals, functional foods and
dietary supplements in India. However, due to lack of clarity of specific
regulations for registration of nutraceuticals, permitted additives, etc,
entrepreneur intending to launch nutraceutical in India is still faced with
followingchallenges:
• Drugs defined under Section 3(b)(i) of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act,
1940 and also
Ayurvedic, Siddha and Unani drugs are specifically excluded from the scope
of the definition of nutraceutical and health supplement under Section 22
of the act. The definition of drug under Drugs Act is very exhaustive and
taking recourse to the definition of drug, regulatory officers are
categorizing nutraceuticals, especially manufactured and marketed in tablet,
capsule or liquid oral dosages form containing vitamin and minerals as
drugs on the basis of even structure function claims.
• The regulatory officers also take a view that as empty gelatin capsule
itself is covered by the definition of drug: any product marketed in capsule
form will also be considered as drug.
• Some commonly used colors and additives such as binding agents,
granuating agents used in formulating tablets do not find place in the list of
permittedfood additivesunderthe regulations.
• Though the structure function claims are permitted, there is no clarity as to
the permitted structure function claims for nutraceuticals and dietary
supplements.
To overcome these difficulties, it would be necessary to amend Schedule K of
the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945 to provide for specific exemption to
nutraceuticals, dietary supplements and health supplements from the scope of
Drugsand CosmeticsAct,1940and Rules,1945.
It is also essential to have specific regulations as regards product approval,
approval of claims, permitted additives, quantity of vitamins and minerals etc.
for nutraceuticals as it is necessary to treat this segment as independent and
uniqueentityundertheFood SafetyStandardAct,2006.
RegulatoryrequirementsforIndia entry
As the nutraceutical regulation is evolving in India, with FSSA getting recently
implemented there is a possibility that some of the content is conflicting /
confusing,butforIndian industrytotakea shape,thesehavetobestreamlined.
In orderto enterIndian nutraceuticalmarket,some of thevery important areas
to focus include product evaluation, actual product analysis, procuring licenses
and developing India specifichealthand label claims.
1. Productevaluation
In Indian conditions, the formulations behave very funnily and get mixed up
in classifications. Hence, the due-diligence in terms of carving a specific
amount for each ingredient and the combination of ingredients becomes very
crucial.
In order to perform product assessment as per Indian regulatory definition, it
is of utmost importace to examine each active ingredient and additive in the

context of permissibility, standards and dosage of vitamins / minerals
allowed as per the Therapeutic, Prophylactic or Recommended Daily
Allowance for Indians. Also manufacturers are unclear whether their products
will be classified as food or food supplement or drug in the context of the
Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954 and Rules, 1955, Food Safety and
StandardsAct,2006and Drugsand CosmeticsAct,1940and Rules,1945.
The Food Safety and Standards Rules, 2011 highlights regulatory enforcement
structure and procedures which Central Government proposes to make. The
structure has a hierarchy from commissioner of Food Safety to number of
officers like designated officer, food safety officer, food analyst, etc. who will
beinvolvedin theproductanalysisprocessatdifferentpoints.
Various steps in the product analysis include
1. Developing extracts of documents and authenticating the same by
concerned authority
2. Sample collection (in the presence of witnesses)
3. Sample dispatch to concerned authority (different process for bulk
package and single package)
4. Food analysis
5. If analysis is not complete within stipulated period of time, further
action plan by designated officer
7. Adjudication proceedings (holding enquiry, appeal procedure, hearing,
etc.)
2. Licenses
Though new FSSA promises to simplify Licensing and Registration processes
fornutraceuticals,theactualprocessvarydepending on numberof parameter
To get the product registered in India, number of licenses (almost 4-5)will
be required depending on the actual product status like
• Whether company wants to sell bulk drug or finished formulation
• Whether company is importing finished product or bulk ingredient?
• Whether product to be imported is with or without India specific label

Conclusion
Globalization of the nutraceutical and functional food industry presents
significant challenges to stakeholders, not the least of which is the regulatory
variance between countries active in the marketplace. Nutraceuticals are
playing crucial role in developments of future therapeutics but it depends on
controlof purity,efficacyand safety.
Hence, when any new entrant wants to enter Indian nutraceutical market, it is
very important to comply with regulatory framework so that business is run
smoothly. The focus areas should be product evaluation for each active
ingredient in the context of permissibility, standards and dosage of vitamins /
minerals allowed, product classification as per various Indian Healthcare Laws
(legal definitionof theproduct),India specificlabel claimsand advertising.
