                                Coined in 1989 by Dr. Stephen DeFelice, the term nutraceutical combines 'nutrition' and 'pharmaceutical,' yet no single, official definition exists, causing market and regulatory confusion. This uncertainty impacts how these health products are classified and marketed around the world.
