Swiss Sciences Nutrition - What Are Nutraceuticals?

Nutraceutical products were once considered alternative medicine. Now nutraceuticals are becoming a more mainstream addition to our everyday diets. Swiss Sciences Nutrition is a team of Researchers.
New studies by food scientists have show there to be more to food science than we thought just a couple decades ago. Until very recently, analysis of food was limited to flavor and nutritional value. There is mounting evidence that some parts of food may have a big effect in the link between food and health.

The term nutraceuticals was first coined by a man named Dr. Stephen L. DeFelice and is formed by combining the words "nutrition" and "pharmaceutical". The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines nutraceutical as "A food stuff (as a fortified food or a dietary supplement) that provides health benefits." In a nutshell, nutraceuticals are foods or food products with some type of health benefit, including the prevention and treatment of disease. Dietary supplements are found in many different forms such as tablets, capsules, soft-gels, gel-caps, liquids, or powders. Some of the ingredients in these products can consist of: vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and substances such as organ tissues, enzymes, glandular tissues, and metabolites. All of Swiss Sciences Nutrition's products are made through manufacturing processes that are medical grade facilities such as NHK and NULAB facilities.

Such products are also referred to as functional foods, signifying they and their components may provide a health benefit beyond basic nutrition. They may range from isolated nutrients, dietary supplements and specific diets to genetically engineered foods, herbal products, and processed foods. Recent breakthroughs by researchers and medical practitioners have enabled the integration of information from clinical studies into effective treatments and therapies in medical practice.

Some examples include fruits, vegetables and fortified or enhanced foods. Even though all foods are functional in the respect that they provide nutrients, nutraceuticals also have health-promoting ingredients or natural components that have a potential health benefit for our bodies.

Fortifying food for the benefit of health started in the US in the early 1900s when food manufacturers began adding iodine to salt in order to prevent goiter (an enlargement of the thyroid gland). Now, there are hundreds of substances with functional qualities are now identified.
