nutriceutical
Definition: A coined word, crossing the words ''nutritional'' and ''pharmaceutical'' and generally coming to mean any nutritional supplement designed for any specific clinical purpose(s). Due to US regulations, clinical or medical claims cannot be made for them. Thus, all are functionally (legally) on the market as foods for general consumption (or ''health foods'') to be used as ''supplements'' to nutrition (diet). Medical doctors frequently utilize these and other nutritional supplements in a myriad of clinical settings.
