Abstract

Nutraceutics first emerged as a scientific branch of medicine in 1989 owing to the
work of physician Stephen L. DeFelice (born 1936), who described a nutraceutical
as a “food or part of a food that provides medical or health benefits, including the
prevention and/or treatment of a disease” [1]. Today more refined definitions are
available such as that provided by Health Canada: “a product prepared from foods,
but sold in the form of pills, or powder (potions) or in other medicinal forms, not
usually associated with foods” [1].
