The term “nutraceutical” was coined from “nutrition” and “pharmaceutical” by Stephen De Felice,
According to De Felice, nutraceutical can be defined as “a food (or a part of food) that provides
medical or health benefits, including the prevention and or treatment of a disease”

This emerging class of product occupies an intermediate position between food and medicine.
European medicine law has defined nutraceuticals as a medicine for two reasons:
1. It can be used for the prevention, treatment, or cure of a disease condition.

2. It can be administered with a view to restoring, correcting, or modifying physiological
functions in human beings

Nutraceuticals may range from isolated nutrients, herbal products, dietary supplements, and diets
to genetically engineered designer foods and processed products such as cereals, soups, and beverages.
