What are Nutraceuticals

The word "nutraceutical" is a blend of the words "nutrition" and "pharmaceutical", coined in 1989 by Stephen L. DeFelice, founder and chairman of the Foundation of Innovation Medicine. Indians, Egyptians, Chinese, and ancient Sumerians are just a few civilizations that have used food as medicine. "Let food be thy medicine." is a common misquotation attributed to Hippocrates, who is considered by some to be the father of Wester Medicine.

The modern nutraceutical market began to develop in Japan during the 1980s. In contrast to the natural herbs and spices used as medicine for centuries throughout Asia, the nutraceutical industry has grown alongside the expansion and exploration of modern technology. 

Nutraceuticals are products derived from food sources that are purported to provide extra health benefits, in addition to the basic nutritional value found in foods. Depending on the jurisdiction, products may claim to prevent Chronic Diseases, improve health, delay the aging process, increase life expectancy, or support the structure or function of the body.
