The term was 1st mentioned in a trade journal, Pharmaceutical Executive, in the mid-90s. The definition reads:
“Naturaceutical supplements are combinations of natural ingredients: vitamins, minerals and herbs,
that scientific research and historical uses have shown to beneficial for human health.”
The art for formulating nutraceutical supplements is: combining the natural ingredients . . . in just the right way.
The science is testing:
- Before starting: to verify the ingredient
- During the process of producing the formula for quality control
- After production: to verify safety, efficacy and shelf life
Professional grade supplements add potency, performance and stability to art and the scientific process to meet the exacting demands of their users.
