Abstract

Although dietary supplements are sometimes counted as nutraceuticals, in the definition used in these reports, they are considered as a separate entity. The benefits they offer, which are directly between the therapeutic and the nutritional in maintaining balance are in direct competition with fortified food and drink products. Examples of this include the use of active ingredients such as calcium, omega 3&6, caffeine, perilla, ginseng and multivitamins, which are designed to provide similar benefits to dietary supplements.

OTC medicine faces the most immediate threat from nutraceuticals. It is clear that prescription medicines do also face a threat from nutraceuticals, although less overtly than OTC medicines. The most obvious threat is posed by brands such as Benecol, which has direct health benefits that could impact on a lucrative pharmaceutical market, namely patients with cardiovascular problems. However, manufacturers are targeting consumers with products that are essentially prophylactic, rather than curative, such as products that aim to help in the prevention of cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and other pharmaceutical staples. The long-term effect of higher take-up of nutraceuticals could have a significant impact on sales of conventional medicines if (and only if) such products are successful. Functional Food & Drinks for Specific Conditions & Ailments analyses the opportunities and threats in this area, with an extensive analysis of new product development in this highly lucrative segment of the nutraceuticals market.
