	Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals \| Aliments fonctionnels et nutraceutiques
		Nutraceuticals and functional foods are food components that provide demonstrated physiological benefits or reduce the risk of chronic disease, above and beyond their basic nutritional functions.
		A functional food is similar to a conventional food, while a nutraceutical is isolated from a food and sold in dosage form, in both cases the active components occur naturally in the food.
		The market for nutraceuticals and functional foods (which is large, global and growing), is being driven by a growing consumer understanding of diet/disease links, aging populations, rising health care costs, and advances in food technology and nutrition.

	1. What is a nutraceutical?
		Nutraceuticals, which have also been called medical foods, designer foods, phytochemicals, functional foods and nutritional supplements, include such everyday products as "bio" yoghurts and fortified breakfast cereals, as well as vitamins, herbal remedies and even genetically modified foods and supplements.
		The term "nutraceutical" was coined in 1989 by Stephen De Felice, founder and chairman of the Foundation for Innovation in Medicine, an American organization which encourages medical health research.
		He defined a nutraceutical as a "food, or parts of a food, that provide medical or health benefits, including the prevention and treatment of disease".

		Nutraceuticals (often referred to as phytochemicals or functional foods) are natural, bioactive chemical compounds that have health promoting, disease preventing or medicinal properties.
		Nutraceuticals are found in a mosaic of products emerging from (a) the food industry, (b) the herbal and dietary supplement market, (c) the pharmaceutical industry, and (d) the newly merged pharmaceutical/agribusiness/nutrition conglomerates.

	FIM'S PRINCIPLES FOR SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE FOR NUTRACEUTICAL
		Nutraceutical is a term coined by the Foundation for Innovation in Medicine, an educational foundation established in the US to encourage discoveries in medicine.
		A nutraceutical can be defined as any substance that may be considered a food or part of a food and that provides medical or health benefits, including the prevention and treatment of disease.
		The truly unique feature of the nutraceutical market, and probably the most difficult for the pharmaceutical corporate mentality to appreciate, is the need to establish effective medical and consumer media relationships.

		Nutraceutical’s suit seeks a declaration that the ban violates several federal laws and procedure requirements, and an allowance to continue selling the Solaray ephedra product.

	FIM Rationale And Proposed Guidelines For The Nutraceutical Research & Education Act - Nrea
		Also, because nutraceuticals frequently work as consolidated substances or mixtures, the focus will be on preventive or therapeutic results, and not necessarily the often economically prohibitive task of identifying whether or not any specific product component is the active one in isolation.
		Whenever nutraceuticals are substances that are routinely consumed by the public and generally recognized as safe, there can be little or no requirement for preclinical testing.
		Given that the intent of laws and regulations is to serve the public interest, and it is deemed important to bring the benefits of nutraceuticals to the American public, then the encouragement of clinical research by Congress is not only one of the keystones necessary for success but an essential duty of this great institution.

	WHAT IS A TRUE NUTRACEUTICAL?
		In addition, it seems that each party has created its own definition of a nutraceutical which is (a) creating more confusion in an already confused lexicon of food nomenclature, and (b) misrepresenting the nature and size of the true nutraceutical market.
		A nutraceutical is any substance that may be considered a food or part of a food and provides medical or health benefits, including the prevention and treatment of disease.
		Thus, folic acid was a potential nutraceutical until sufficient clinical evidence for the prevention of neural tube defects was generated to make it an established one, and ginseng remains a potential nutraceutical because of a lack of such evidence.

		Nutraceuticals, also frequently referred to as “dietary supplements” or “nutritional supplements”, are essentially prophylactic or preventive, in contrast to drugs that are active chemical substances used to treat an illness or symptoms of an illness.
		Nutraceuticals represent a different approach to medicine, one based on nutrition and the health or wellness of the whole body.
		As such, while nutraceuticals may compete with or cannibalize the sales of certain types of drugs (particularly over-the-counter drugs), they form a distinct market.
