Examining the Science Behind Nutraceuticals: Proceedings of the AAPS Dietary Supplements Forum (Biotechnology: Pharmaceutical Aspects)
Product Description More than half of the adult population in the U.S. includes some sort of dietary supplement in their diet. A number of factors are responsible for this. These include health consciousness of Americans and the tendency to take greater responsibility for making health-care decisions. This is sometimes related to dissatisfaction with traditional medicine. In addition, consumers generally perceive that supplements are safe and cannot hurt. However, there are significant scientific and regulatory issues to consider that impact on product quality and performance and public health. "Examining the Science Behind Nutraceuticals" is intended to provide the reader with a better understanding of the terms used in the industry, regulatory implications, pharmacoeconomics, health benefits and risks, databases of physiochemical properties, risks, and benefits, challenges of educating the consumer as well as the healthcare professional, standardizing botanical extracts, supplement delivery, product quality and performance, and the scientific barriers to establishing standards for the manufacture, product quality, and performance.
