This document discusses the role of ayurvedic products in livestock health and production on a global scale. It notes that the total global herbal market for animal health is $100 billion, with growth in digestive, respiratory, dermal and nutrient replacement products. Herbal/phytoconstituent-based products are growing at a 20% compound annual growth rate. The reasons for their growing popularity include an increasing number of research papers and herbal pharmacopoeias establishing their scientific credibility as well as their comparatively lower development costs. India is well positioned to benefit due to its large biodiversity of medicinal plants and variety of animal species for testing. Examples are given of herbal applications for skin diseases, post-parturient

Dietary supplements, by definition, are meant to “supplement the diet” in order to maintain a healthy body and mind. Probiotics confer an extensive diversity of different health benefits, which raises the question: do probiotics technically “fit” within the confines of the dietary supplement definition? As recent evidence increases for the beneficial effects of certain probiotics, these supplements may have the potential to transition into Over-The-Counter (OTC) medication. This session will present recent studies on the health benefits of probiotics, compare efficacy claims substantiation needed for probiotics as a supplement or as an OTC, and discuss the potential marketing benefit of obtaining OTC status for a probiotic.
Nutraceuticals: The Front Line of the Battle for Consumer HealthSemalytix
Nutrition products can be an inexpensive and safe solution to tackle important unmet health needs.
Consumer healthcare has become the battleground where pharmaceutical and consumer goods firms compete for growth. With more people around the world dying from obesity than starvation, poor nutrition is now recognized as a major risk factor for chronic diseases. Most health systems are ill-equipped to deal with this trend.1 Increasingly, patients are being encouraged to take part in their own treatments, and a consumer market has been developing midway between the supermarket-based world of consumer goods companies and the scientific, pharmacy-based world of pharmaceutical firms.2
The front lines of this battle are nutritional products that have been proven to help prevent or cure disease. These "nutraceuticals" present a tantalizing opportunity for breakthroughs to prevent and manage common health problems, offering consumer-focused solutions to issues that are currently addressed only by pharmaceutical interventions—or not at all.3 However, despite being a hot spot for growth, they still suffer from the same challenges as the rest of the sector, with market growth barely keeping up with the rise in gross domestic product.4
In this paper, the third in our Winning the Battle for Consumer Healthcare series, we delve further into the nutraceuticals market to understand the opportunities and barriers to growth. We also look at the successes and challenges faced by both consumer goods and pharmaceutical companies as they struggle to gain the upper hand in this exciting new market.

The use of herbal drugs for the prevention and treatment of various health ailments has been in practice from time immemorial. Generally it is believed that the risk associated with herbal drugs is very less, but reports on serious reactions are indicating to the need for development of effective marker systems for isolation and identification of the individual components.Standards for herbal drugs are being developed worldwide but as yet there is no common consensus as to how these should be adopted. Standardization, stability and quality control for herbal drugs are feasible, but difficult to accomplish. Further, the regulation of these drugs is not uniform across countries. There are variations in the methods used across medicine systems and countries in achieving stability and quality control. The present study attempts to identify the evolution of technical standards in manufacturing and the regulatory guideline development for commercialization of herbal drugs.
Keywords: survey was conducted to obtain primary data on challenges faced during production, commercialization, and marketing approval for traditional or herbal drugs in India and abroad. Responses were collected from companies by email, telephone, and in-person interviews and were analyzed to draw appropriate conclusions.The use of plants, parts of plants and isolated phytochemicals for the prevention and treatment of various health ailments has been in practice from time immemorial. It is estimated that about 25% of the drugs prescribed worldwide are derived from plants and 121 such active compounds are in use. Of the total 252 drugs in WHO's essential medicine list, 11% is exclusively of plant origin The use of plants, parts of plants and isolated phytochemicals for the prevention and treatment of various health ailments has been in practice from time immemorial.

General Introduction to Herbal Industry:Herbs are those remedial agents which are created by nature for curing human
illness. Herbal extracts have been used since ancient times in traditional medicine. This system
of medicine (Ayurveda, Unani and Siddha) is 5000 year old recommends a combination of
lifestyle management and treatment with specific herbs and minerals to cure various diseases.
Approximately 1250 Indian medicinal plants are being used to formulate beneficial measures
according to Ayurveda. WHO define Traditional herbal medicines as naturally occurring, plant
derived substances with minimal or no industrial processing that have been used to treat illness
within local or regional healing practices. Traditional herbal medicine and their preparations
have been widely used for the thousands of years in developing and developed countries due to
its natural origin and lesser side effects. These medicines initially used in the form of crude drugs
such as tinctures, teas, poultices, powders, and other herbal formulations.
Phytochemical property and oral toxicity safety of Chrysophyllum caimito and ...Open Access Research Paper
The century-old practice of herbal medication in animals still persists in local communities despite the contemporary advances in veterinary health care today. The numerous benefits including convenience of use, accessibility, inexpensiveness and insignificant side effects when compared to synthetic veterinary medicines in which drug resistance and residuals are linked. This research work aimed to elucidate the presence of bioactive components and determine the margin of safety of Chrysophyllum cainito (Caimito) and Psidium guajava (Guava) ethanolic bark extracts which are among the selection of documented herbals reliably utilized for gastro-intestinal sicknesses in farm animals. Qualitative phytochemical screening exemplified the presence of tannins, saponins, terpenoids, xanthoproteins, steroids and coumarin. Avian acute oral toxicity testing denoted that 2000mg/kg dosage was adequate and safe to use in Sasso chickens as substantiated by insignificant effect to body weight, SGOT and uric acid values and the non-appearance of toxicity symptoms including death. The secondary metabolites demonstrated in these plants explicate the pharmacological activities which can be utilized as potential alternatives to current medication strategies in animals.
Aqua drugs and chemicals used in aquaculture of Zakigonj upazilla, SylhetAbdullaAlAsif1
In order to investigate present status of aqua chemicals and drugs used in various aquaculture activities in Zakigonj upazilla, Sylhet. A survey was conducted, with carp polyculture, tilapia and catfish farmers, aqua-medicine sellers, representatives of pharmaceuticals companies, from July 2014 to November 2014. Each group consisted of 25 respondents. According to the survey the most common dose of lime used by the farmers during pond preparation (62.67%) and culture period (53%) is 0.5-1 kg/40m2. Urea and TSP used by the farmers mostly during culture period with most common dose of 100-150g/40m2(37.3%) and 50-100 g/40m2 (68%) respectively. Various categories of aqua drugs and chemicals were identified that were used by fish farmers for different purposes such as water quality management, disinfectants, improve dissolve oxygen level, disease treatment, antibiotics and growth promoter. Many pharmaceutical companies were found to provide these aqua drugs and chemicals with different trade names to fulfill the farmers demand. For pond and water quality management lime, urea and TSP are mostly used. Bleaching powder, Timsen, EDTA, Polgard, Virex, Aquakleen, Germnill, Pond safe were widely used as disinfectant. Health management and disease treatment were the major activities where farmers were seen to use a lot of chemicals. A range of chemicals including antibiotics were found available in market and being used in the aquaculture sector. Commonly found traditional chemicals in heath management included Potassium permanganate, Lime, Salt, Virex, Timsen, Aquakleen, Germnil, Pond Safe, Deletrix, Spa, Albez, Ablez were used regularly for disease treatment. Mostly used antibiotics are Renamycin, Oxysentin 20% Chlorsteclin Oxy-D Vet, Aquamycin, Orgamycin 15 %, Orgacycline-15% etc. Major active ingredients of these antibiotics were oxytetracycline, chlorotetracycline, amoxicillin, doxycycline etc. There are approximately fifty two pharmaceutical companies have been recorded to market around 300 products. Most of the products have been marketed from different countries like USA, Thailand, Malaysia, Belgium and China etc. The study also indicated some problems associated with the use of such chemicals due to lack of knowledge of farmers about the use of chemicals, appropriate dose, method of application and their indiscriminate use of chemicals. The study also highlighted the names and approximate price of aquaculture chemicals available with the chemicals sellers in Zakigonj, Sylhet.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}NEHA GUPTA
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.

The market is increasing on all fronts. This includes consumer purchases from health food stores, drugstores, grocery stores as well as mass market outlets. Increased demand is reflected in the growth of multilevel marketers; Amway is now selling herbs! So is Shaklee and many others. It is no longer correct to say that they are going mainstream - they are mainstream! When you take aspirin for a headache, you are essentially practicing herbalism in a sense. Why? Aspirin comes from the inner bark of the Willow tree. Obviously, it does not come in the form of a tablet, but there is no denying the relief you obtain from taking it is from the plant derivative of that bark
Despite this damper cast by the recession, the medium to long-term outlook for animal feed industry still remains encouraging, with growth fundamentals such as population, per capita meat consumption, and consumption in developing nations, expected to display resurgence in the upcoming years and drive growth in the post recession period Extending the required impetus to market growth are recent advances in finding more scientific formulations, new molecules, and use of biotechnology, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and natural/herbal products to enhance animal productivity. Developments in feed manufacturing technology and new feeding concepts also unraveled possibilities to manufacture a range of novel feed additives. Since the ban on antibiotics, livestock producers have been seeking ways to promote animal production and deliver similar benefits offered by antibiotic growth promoters, thus translating into a strong business case for alternative feed additives. animal feed antibiotics/antibacterials market is the largest product segment, having contributed a share of about 27.89% in the total market revenue generated for the year 2009, the animal feed amino acids market is the fastest growing product segment displaying a CAGR of 5.21% over the analysis period 2007-2015.
It is worth to recognize that more than about 25 % of modern pharmaceutical drugs have botanical origins, such as digoxin (drug used to treat congestive heart failure) from foxgloves, tamoxifen (anti estrogenic ) from pacific yew tree ,morphine from poppies, aspirin from willow bark and, and so on…..
First, there is the forthcoming availability of the English translations of the German government's Commission E monographs, to be published by the American Botanical Council. Also, there is the intuition of both standards and therapeutic information monographs from the United States Pharmacopeia, the nation's oldest compiler of standards for medicines, since 1820. There are now 50 therapeutic monographs produced by the Europe Scientific Cooperative on Phytotherapy (ESCOP), an attempt to develop harmonized monographs for leading phytomedicines sold in the European Union. The world Health Organization (WHO) is publishing this year its first 25 monographs which deal with both standards for identity and analysis as well as therapeutic information on 25 medicinal herbs sold world wide. Finally, the new monographs from the American Herbal Pharmacopoeia - particularly the 32-page monograph on St. John's Wort will become a significant contribution to the botanical literature. All these will create a flood of authoritative information that will enable industry to produce better quality herb products and health professionals to use them more effectively.
Clinical Trials In clinical trials teams of physicians carry out studies designed to determine if the drug is safe in people and an effective treatment for the disease in question. Of the 250 compounds that enter preclinical testing, only five will make it this far. There are three phases of clinical trials: Phase I: The medicine is tested in a small group (20-100) of healthy volunteers - often in a hospital setting - to determine its safety profile, including the safe dose range. Pharmacokinetic studies examine how a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized and excreted, as well as the duration of its action. Phase I studies can take from six months to one year to complete. Phase II: Placebo-controlled trials involving approximately 100 to 500 volunteer patients who have the disease being studied. The goal of this phase is to establish the "proof of concept" - i.e., the medicine effectively treats the disease. Researchers continue to evaluate the drug's safety and look for side effects, and determine optimal dose strength and schedule (e.g., once or twice daily). Phase II studies can take from six months from one year to complete. Phase III: The medicine is tested in large, randomized, placebo-controlled trials with much larger numbers of patient volunteers - from 1,000 to 5,000, in hospitals, clinics and/or physician offices - to generate statistically significant data. Researchers closely monitor patients at regular interviews to confirm that the drug is effective and identify side effects (also called adverse events). Phase III studies can take from one to four years to complete, depending on the disease, length of the study, and the number of volunteers. While Phase I-III studies are taking place, researchers are also conducting a number of crucial parallel studies: toxicity tests and other long-term safety evaluations; dosage forms; plans for full-scale production; package design; and preparation of the complex application required for FDA approval. Back to top New Drug Application (NDA) Once all three phases of the clinical trials are complete, a company analyzes all of the data. If the findings demonstrate that the experimental medicine is both safe and effective, the company files an NDA with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). NDAs typically run 100,000 pages or longer, just one illustration of the extensive testing a medicine must go through in order to gain FDA approval. They contain all of the information about all of the studies - including preclinical testing, all clinical trials, dosing information, manufacturing details and proposed labeling for the new medicine. Back to top FDA Review/Approval In this final stage, the FDA scientists review all the results from all the studies carried out over the years and determine if they show that the medicine is safe and effective enough to be approved. Depending on the medicine or disease in question, the FDA sometimes convenes an Advisory Committee meeting. These independent panels of experts, appointed by the FDA, consider data presented by company representatives and FDA reviewers. Committees then vote on whether the FDA should approve an application, and under what conditions. The FDA is not required to follow the recommendations of the advisory committees, but they often do. If the medicine is approved, or "cleared for marketing," it becomes available for physicians and patients. It took an average of 16.9 months for the FDA to review each medicine it approved in 2003. The proportion of rejected applications has remained constant over the years at about 10% to 15%. Back to top Manufacturing Following the R&D, and approval stages, manufacturers must build infrastructure and design processes to mass produce the drugs. Construction of manufacturing facilities often has to wait until very late in the research and development process because manufacturers can?t be sure if a particular drug will be approved. If manufacturers choose to use existing facilities, they often need to perform renovations or cut back or eliminate production of other drugs. Engineers and chemists scale-up the fabrication process from the research laboratory level to a mass production level in order to meet the global demand. This process is challenging; facilities must meet strict FDA inspection criteria for Good Manufacturing Practices to ensure high quality control of the product. Once built, the production facilities employ hundreds of highly skilled workers, including engineers, chemists, and quality control technicians. Even the most basic tasks require a more highly trained and technically savvy worker than most other manufacturing industries. Back to top Ongoing Studies Even after approval, the studies and observation continue. A much bigger group of patients may begin to use a medicine upon approval compared with the thousands of patients in clinical trials and in this larger scale rare side effects may occur, so companies must continue to monitor the drug carefully. The FDA requires them to continue to submit periodic reports, including any cases of adverse events (side effects or complications). Sometimes, the FDA requires a company to conduct additional studies. Known as Phase IV or "post-marketing" studies, they evaluate long-term safety or generate more data about how the medicine affects a particular group of patients (e.g., children or the elderly). Phase IV studies can continue for years; one study can cost between $20-30 million. Depending on the findings, a company can use the studies to submit a Supplemental NDA, seeking additional indications for the medicine. Source: www.Innovation.org
