Tag: Prescribe

A nutritionist offers evidence-based guidance and personalized strategies for well-being. The title 'nutritionist' is not protected in all regions, and the scope of practice can vary widely. A nutritionist cannot prescribe medications, as only authorized healthcare professionals are permitted to do so.

While the supplement industry operates with minimal external oversight, the act of prescribing supplements is a heavily regulated and legally defined practice. The key distinction is that a nutritionist can recommend, but legally cannot prescribe supplements, a power reserved for licensed medical professionals.
