Nutraceutical

A nutraceutical or 'bioceutical' is a pharmaceutical alternative which claims physiological benefits. In the US, 'nutraceuticals' are largely unregulated, as they exist in the same category as dietary supplements and food additives by the FDA, under the authority of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
