FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are nutraceuticals?
Nutraceuticals are food-derived products—like vitamins, herbs, or compounds—that offer health benefits beyond basic nutrition. While regulated as dietary supplements, they must not claim to cure, diagnose, treat, or prevent diseases unless approved by authorities like the FDA or EFSA.
2. Are these products safe to use?
Generally, yes—when purchased from reputable brands. Look for products with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) certification, third-party testing, and transparent labeling. Avoid excessive dosages and follow recommended guidelines.
3. Can nutraceuticals replace a healthy diet?
No. Nutraceuticals are meant to complement a balanced diet, not replace it. Whole foods remain the foundation of health, while supplements fill nutrient gaps or provide additional support.
4. How do I choose the right supplement for my needs?
Focus on evidence-based ingredients and validated claims. Choose products:
With clear, science-backed purposes (e.g. digestion, joint support)
From brands with third-party testing (NSF, USP, GMP)
That clearly list ingredients and dosages
This ensures quality and suitability.
5. Can I take nutraceuticals with my medications?
Some ingredients may interact with medications. Always discuss with your healthcare provider before starting any supplement—especially if you’re on prescription medication, pregnant, nursing, or have chronic conditions.
6. Are nutraceuticals legal worldwide?
Yes, most neutraceuticals are legal in major markets (U.S., Canada, UK, EU). However, regulations vary—especially regarding dosage and allowed health claims. Always check local regulations and adhere to label instructions.
