Within the past decade, the so-called health food industry has experienced a tremendous growth such that these products are commonplace in most community pharmacies within the United States. These products have since been defined, by those in the industry, as nutraceuticals. Passage of the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 and the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 has had a significant impact on the information available to the consumers to enable them to make educated decisions when "self-medicating" with this class of products. This paper is an attempt to summarize the current state of scientific and regulatory issues that are relevant to nutraceutical products.
在过去十年中，所谓的健康食品行业经历了巨大的增长，以至于这些产品在美国大多数社区药房中都很常见。此后，该行业的人士将这些产品定义为营养保健品。1990年《营养标签与教育法》和1994年《膳食补充剂健康与教育法》的通过，对消费者可获得的信息产生了重大影响，使他们在使用这类产品进行“自我药疗”时能够做出明智的决策。本文旨在总结与营养保健品相关的科学和监管问题的现状。
