Nutraceutical

A nutraceutical is any substance that is a food or isolated part of a food providing medical or physiological benefits, including the prevention and treatment of disease. Such products may range from naturally nutrient-rich or medicinally active food, such as garlic or soybeans, isolated nutrients such as omega-3 oil derived from cold water fish, dietary supplements and specific diets to genetically engineered designer foods, herbal products, and processed foods such as cereals, soups and beverages (which are created with wellness in mind).
