Sažetak
Nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals, although seemingly different categories of products, still exhibit high similarities and overlapping among their properties and functionalities. The confusion and the lack of a distinguished border between nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals are mostly the result of the nonexistent comprehensive definition on what is considered a nutraceutical. Although the situation is much clearer with pharmaceuticals, the nutraceuticals still remain to be fully defined and legally recognized. This chapter offers an overview on the history and the definition of nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals, regulatory background, development processes, differences and similarities and future challenges involved in understanding and defining the borderline between nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals, which is still, up to this day, indistinct.
