INTRODUCTION
• TWO HUNDRED YEARS AGO, PROCESSED SUGAR WAS ONLY AVAILABLE IN DRUG STORES.
• TODAY, IT IS ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFULLY MARKETED NUTRITIONAL CHEMICALS,
ADDICTING CONSUMERS FROM A TIME WHEN THEY ARE VERY YOUNG.
• ON ONE HAND, WE ARE EATING FOOD MATERIAL OF COMPROMISED NUTRITIVE VALUE
BECAUSE OF MILLING AND PROCESSING.
• ON THE OTHER HAND, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH TIME FOR A HEALTHY BALANCED MEAL.
• TO COMPENSATE FOR THESE LOSSES, DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS AND FUNCTIONAL FOODS ARE A
MUST IN TODAY’S LIFESTYLE.
www.DuloMix.com 4
…
• DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS REFER TO THE PREPARATIONS INTENDED TO COMPENSATE FOR THE NUTRIENTS
THAT OTHERWISE MIGHT NOT BE SUFFICIENTLY PRESENT IN THE DIET.
• DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS ARE CATEGORIZED AS FOOD IN SOME COUNTRIES, WHILE IN OTHER COUNTRIES
THEY ARE CONSIDERED AS DRUGS OR NATURAL HEALTH PRODUCTS.
• FUNCTIONAL FOODS REFERS TO SUPPLEMENTS THAT HAVE NEW OR MORE INGREDIENTS ADDED,
RESULTING IN ENHANCED FUNCTION AND IMPROVEMENT OF HEALTH.
• THESE TYPES OF FOODS ARE COMPRISED OF PROCESSED FOODS AS WELL AS FOODS ENRICHED WITH
HEALTH PROMOTING ADDITIVES.
• THE SEARCH FOR FUNCTIONAL FOODS, OR FUNCTIONAL FOOD INGREDIENTS, IS ONE OF THE LEADING
TRENDS IN TODAY’S FOOD INDUSTRY.

…
• THE TERM NUTRACEUTICAL, A COMBINATION OF THE WORDS “NUTRITION” AND
“PHARMACEUTICAL,”WAS COINED BY DR. STEPHEN L. DEFELICE IN 1989, FOUNDER AND CHAIRMAN OF
THE FOUNDATION OF INNOVATION MEDICINE, CRAWFORD, NEW JERSEY, AND IT REFERS TO THE FOOD
OR FOOD INGREDIENTS THAT HAVE DEFINED PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS.
• THEY DO NOT EASILY FALL INTO THE LEGAL CATEGORIES OF FOOD OR DRUG AND OFTEN RESIDE IN A
GRAY AREA BETWEEN THE TWO.
• THE TERM NUTRACEUTICAL IS BEING COMMONLY USED IN MARKETING BUT HAS NO REGULATORY
DEFINITION.
www.DuloMix.com 6
HISTORY
• THE TERMINOLOGY “PHYSIOLOGICALLY FUNCTIONAL FOODS” OR SIMPLY “FUNCTIONAL
FOODS” WAS CONCEIVED OVER THREE DECADES AGO IN THE CONTEXT OF NUTRITION
DURING SPACE TRAVEL.
• THE MODERN CONCEPT OF FUNCTIONAL FOOD FOR THE GENERAL POPULATION WAS
PROPOSED BY JAPANESE ACADEMIC SOCIETY IN THE EARLY 1980 S, AND THE LEGISLATION
FOR FUNCTIONAL FOODS WAS FIRST IMPLEMENTED AS FOODS FOR SPECIFIED HEALTH USE.
www.DuloMix.com 7
.
• THE PURPOSE OF THE FUNCTIONAL FOOD SCIENCE IN EUROPE WAS ON REACH CONSENSUS
ON SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS OF FUNCTIONAL FOODS IN BY USING THE SCIENCE BASE WHICH
PROVIDES EVIDENCE THAT CERTAIN NUTRIENTS AFFECT PHYSIOLOGICAL FUNCTIONS IN A
POSITIVE MANNER.
• HEALTH CANADA WHICH DEFINES NUTRACEUTICAL AS: A PRODUCT ISOLATED OR PURIFIED
FROM FOODS, AND GENERALLY SOLD IN MEDICINAL FORMS NOT USUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH
FOOD AND DEMONSTRATED TO HAVE A PHYSIOLOGICAL BENEFIT OR PROVIDE PROTECTION
AGAINST CHRONIC DISEASE. EXAMPLES ARE BETACAROTENE AND LYCOPENE.
www.DuloMix.com 8
…
• NUTRACEUTICALS ARE CURRENTLY RECEIVING RECOGNITION AS BEING BENEFICIAL IN CORONARY
HEART DISEASE, OBESITY, DIABETES, CANCER, OSTEOPOROSIS AND OTHER CHRONIC AND
DEGENERATIVE DISEASES SUCH AS PARKINSON’S AND ALZHEIMER’S DISEASES.
• THE DSHEA (DIETARY SUPPLEMENT HEALTH AND EDUCATION ACT 1994) DEFINED “DIETARY SUPPLEMENT”
USING SEVERAL CRITERIA.
• A DIETARY SUPPLEMENT: IS A PRODUCT (OTHER THAN TOBACCO) THAT IS INTENDED TO SUPPLEMENT
THE DIET THAT BEARS OR CONTAINS ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING DIETARY INGREDIENTS: A
VITA-MIN, A MINERAL, AN HERB OR OTHER BOTANICAL, AN AMINO ACID, A DIETARY SUBSTANCE FOR
USE BY MAN TO SUPPLEMENT THE DIET BY INCREASING THE TOTAL DAILY INTAKE, OR A CONCENTRATE,
METABOLITE,
• CONSTITUENT, EXTRACT, OR COMBINATIONS OF THESE INGREDIENTS.
• IS INTENDED FOR INGESTION IN PILL, CAPSULE, TABLET, OR LIQUID FORM.
• IS NOT REPRESENTED FOR USE AS A CONVENTIONAL FOOD OR AS THE SOLE ITEM OF A MEAL OR DIET.
www.DuloMix.com 9
• IS LABELED AS A “DIETARY SUPPLEMENT.”

NUTRACEUTICALS IN CONTRAST TO PHARMACEUTICALS
• ALTHOUGH THE WORD ‘NUTRACEUTICALS’ IS NOW WELL
UNDERSTOOD AND WIDELY ACCEPTED, IT STILL DOES NOT HAVE ANY
ONE STANDARD DEFINITION.
• THE BEST DEFINITION THAT WE COME ACROSS IS ‘FOOD OR PART OF A
FOOD (INCLUDING DRINKS) THAT PROVIDES MEDICAL OR HEALTH
BENEFITS, INCLUDING PREVENTION OR TREATMENT OF A DISEASE’.
• IN CONTRAST TO THIS, PHARMACEUTICALS FOCUS MORE ON SPECIFIC
ILLNESS OR TREATMENT
www.DuloMix.com 11
Nutraceuticals Pharmaceuticals
Works on root causes and take longer Relatively more instant in effect
time for recovery
Do not have side effects For severe illnesses have side effects
Focuses on prevention & wellness Focuses on illness & treatment
