MEDICINAL FOODS AND DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS

MEDICINAL FOODS AND DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS

The Food and Drug Administration regulates medicinal foods and dietary supplements. The distinction between medicinal foods and dietary supplements is significant. Dietary foods are healthy foods that are advertised locally, whereas medicinal foods are manufactured by medical supplement companies. Because both contain nutritional elements, they are sometimes confused with dietary supplements. Dietary supplements and functional foods are designed to meet healthy people's nutritional needs, whereas medical foods are designed to support the nutritional treatment of specific conditions and are used under the supervision of a physician.
