What’s a Nutraceutical?
Glad you asked. There are a couple of different definitions, ranging from the generic (Merriam-Webster Dictionary: “A food stuff, as a fortified food or a dietary supplement, that provides health benefits”) to the detailed (Health Canada: “A nutraceutical is a product isolated or purified from foods that is generally sold in medicinal forms not usually associated with food. A nutraceutical is demonstrated to have a physiological benefit or provide protection against chronic disease”).
When discussed on Explore Supplements, a nutraceutical is a nutritional supplement that offers benefits beyond similar products typically found on drugstore shelves or in big-box retailers.
