Nutraceutics first emerged as a scientific branch of medicine in 1989 owing to thework of physician Stephen L. DeFelice (born 1936), who described a nutraceuticalas a “food or part of a food that provides medical or health benefits, including theprevention and/or treatment of a disease” [1]. Today more refined definitions areavailable 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, notusually associated with foods” [1].

Abstract
Nutraceutics first emerged as a scientific branch of medicine in 1989 owing to thework of physician Stephen L. DeFelice (born 1936), who described a nutraceuticalas a “food or part of a food that provides medical or health benefits, including theprevention and/or treatment of a disease” [1]. Today more refined definitions areavailable 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, notusually associated with foods” [1].
