Nutraceutical
 | The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with the United States and Canada and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (September 2024) |
Nutraceutical is a marketing term used to imply a pharmaceutical effect from a compound or food product that has not been scientifically confirmed or approved to have clinical benefits.[1][2] In the United States, nutraceuticals are considered and regulated as a subset of foods (such as dietary supplements) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).[3][4][5][6]
There are no internationally defined properties of nutraceuticals.[2] Due to the vague, undiscriminating evidence for the biological effects of nutraceutical products, experts have proposed abandoning the term.[1] The word "nutraceutical" is a portmanteau, blending the words "nutrition" and "pharmaceutical."[1]
