The difference between health care products and medicines, and how to distinguish health care produc

Supplement. Health supplements are not ***.

Not true. Simple:

Medicines are used for the diagnosis, and prevention of disease. The role of medicine is to cure diseases and save lives. Health care products are used for health care and auxiliary use, and can play a role in health care.

Distinguish between medicines and health supplements.

Just look at the approval number.

Drugs: all Chinese medicine quasi-words + 1 letter + 8 digits.

Health care products: how many numbers of medicine and health words.

The drug is the quasi-word of Chinese medicine, which plays a leading role, and the health care product is edible.

But is there ***.

It can be registered with the Food and Drug Administration**.

Most of the chemically processed health care products have ***.

The course of treatment of drugs is to be listened to by the doctor, and the effect of nutrition products is to be listened to by the dietitian; Medicines are for curing diseases, and nutrition is for disease prevention; The doctor said: nutrition products cannot replace medicines; The dietitian said: medicine cannot replace nutrition.

First, the composition of production and formula is different. The production capacity and technical conditions of drugs must be strictly reviewed by the relevant state departments, and through strict inspections in pharmacology, pathology, and viruses and years of clinical observation, and can only be put into the market after being appraised and approved by the relevant departments.

However, health care products do not need to go through clinical trials in hospitals at all, and can be directly put into the market. In this way, the drugs must have definite curative effects and indications, and the adverse reactions are clear; This is not the case for those that are health supplements.

Second: the quality control of the production process is different. As a pharmaceutical vitamin product (drug brand), it must be produced in a pharmaceutical factory, and the quality control requirements in the production process are very high, such as air cleanliness, sterility standards, raw material quality, etc., and all pharmaceuticals are required to meet GMP standards (Good Manufacturing Practices); As a food, vitamin products (food brand) can be produced in food factories, and the standard is lower than that of pharmaceutical production.

Third: the difference in efficacy. As a drug, it must have undergone a large number of clinical verifications, and has been reviewed and approved by the State Drug and Food Administration (SFDA), has strict indications, and has a certain curative effect on the disease; As a health care product of food, it has no first-class effect, only testing pollutants, bacteria and other health indicators, and it can be marketed if it is qualified.

Fourth: the difference between the manual and the advertisement. As a drug, it must have a detailed instruction manual approved by the SFDA, with indications, precautions, and adverse reactions, which are very rigorous; As a food health product, the instructions will not be so detailed and strict.
