Functional Foods

How can one know the requirement of a body when consuming health supplements or vitamins ?

What do you know about  Functional Food?

What is  Functional Food ?


"Functional Foods" are foods or dietary components that may provide a health benefit beyond basic nutrition.

Many academic, scientific, and regulatory organizations are considering ways to establish the scientific basis to support claims for functional components or the foods containing them. 
FDA regulates food products according to their intended use and the nature of claims made on the package. 
Five types of health-related statements or claims are allowed on food and dietary supplement labels:





1.   Nutrient content claims indicate the presence of a specific nutrient at a certain level     
 2.   Structure and function claims describe the effect of dietary components on the normal structure or function of the body     
 3.   Dietary guidance claims describe the health benefits of broad categories of foods     
4.   Qualified health claims convey a developing relationship between components in the diet and risk of disease, as approved by the FDA and supported by the weight of credible scientific evidence available     
5.   Health claims confirm a relationship between components in the diet and risk of disease or health condition, as approved by FDA and supported by significant scientific agreement.
