FAQ
1. What are Nutraceuticals?
Nutraceuticals are bioactive compounds derived from food sources that provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition. They include dietary supplements, functional foods, and medicinally active food components that help in disease prevention and overall wellness.
2. How do Nutraceuticals differ from Pharmaceuticals?
- Nutraceuticals are derived from natural food sources and used for preventive health benefits. They are not strictly regulated as drugs.
- Pharmaceuticals are synthetic or natural compounds formulated to diagnose, treat, or cure diseases and are subject to rigorous testing and approval processes by regulatory authorities.
3. What are common examples of Nutraceuticals?
- Vitamins & Minerals (e.g., Vitamin D, Zinc, Magnesium)
- Probiotics & Prebiotics (e.g., Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium)
- Herbal Extracts (e.g., Turmeric/Curcumin, Ashwagandha, Green Tea Extract)
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids (e.g., Fish Oil, Flaxseed Oil)
- Amino Acids & Proteins (e.g., Whey Protein, Glutamine)
4. What are the types of Drug-Nutrient Interactions?
- Pharmacokinetic Interaction: Affects drug absorption, metabolism, distribution, or excretion due to nutrients.
- Pharmacodynamic Interaction: Nutrients alter drug activity at receptor sites.
- Excretion Interaction: Nutrients impact drug clearance from the body.
- Binding Interaction: Some nutrients bind with drugs, affecting their absorption and effectiveness.
5. Can Nutraceuticals Interfere with Medications?
Yes, certain nutraceuticals can alter the effects of medications. Some examples:
- Grapefruit juice can increase drug levels (e.g., statins, blood pressure medications).
- Vitamin K can reduce the effectiveness of blood thinners like warfarin.
- Calcium & Iron supplements can reduce the absorption of antibiotics like tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones.
- St. John’s Wort can decrease the effectiveness of antidepressants and birth control pills.
6. Are Nutraceuticals Safe for Everyone?
While nutraceuticals are generally safe, they may cause adverse effects in some individuals, especially those on medications, pregnant women, or people with chronic conditions. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement.
7. Can Nutraceuticals Replace Medications?
No, nutraceuticals are primarily used for preventive and supportive health benefits, whereas medications are formulated for treating specific diseases. Nutraceuticals can complement medications but should not be used as substitutes unless advised by a healthcare provider.
