What is the difference between nutraceuticals and medicines? Please be specific?

The difference between medicine and health care products is mainly manifested in three aspects. First of all, the raw materials are different, the drugs are chemically synthesized, and the raw materials of health care products are pure natural plants. The efficacy of the two is also different, and the range of applicable groups is different, the applicable population of drugs is narrow, and the range of health care products is wide.

Most people choose to use drugs after getting sick**, but there are also some people who trust health products very much and always feel that health care products are safer, in fact, there is a difference between the two. So what are the differences between medicines and health products?

1. The raw materials are different.

The raw materials of medicines and health products are not the same. The raw materials used in pharmaceuticals are usually chemically synthesized, while the raw materials used in health care products are basically pure natural plants and do not use chemical synthesis as the main ingredient.

2. The efficacy is different.

Medicines and health products are also very different in terms of efficacy and function. Drugs need to go through a lot of clinical validation, and they also need to be reviewed and approved by the State Drug and Food Administration. The efficacy of the drug is usually single, the patient needs to follow the doctor's instructions, and it is mainly for the purpose of the later stage, there is a certain amount of poison, and this poison is allowed, as long as it is strictly controlled.

There are certain functional ingredients in health care products, but they are not harmful to the human body. It has a comprehensive conditioning effect, can regulate immunity, antioxidant and delay aging, no ***, and there are very few contraindications.

3. Adapt to different groups of people.

There are also many differences between pharmaceuticals and health supplements when it comes to adapting to the population. The scope of application of the drug is relatively narrow, and it is only taken by people with diseases. The scope of application of health care products is relatively comprehensive, and all kinds of people can take it, including sub-healthy people, healthy people and disease people.

Difference Between Health Supplements and Medicines:

1. The difference between the manuals.

Medicines have detailed instructions.

There is no detailed instruction manual for health food, only a brief introduction.

2. Differences in indications.

A drug is a substance with a specified indication or functional indication, usage and dosage.

Health food is only suitable for the population, and there are no indications and functional indications.

3. Can the difference between the disease.

Medicines are used to prevent, diagnose and diagnose human diseases.

Health food is not for the purpose of disease, and health food cannot replace medicine for disease.

4. The difference between ***.

Drugs are allowed to have a certain amount of ***.

Health food does not cause any acute, subacute or chronic harm to the human body.

5. Different administration methods.

Health food is taken by mouth and mainly absorbed by the intestine.

Drugs can be intramuscular, intravenous, ** administration, luminal administration, oral administration, etc.

Health care products can not cure the curative effect, and even harmful to some people, the medicine is different, the drug is able to ** the disease, if the right medicine, you can also control the disease very well.

Health care products are nutritional medicines that play a role in health care. It is helpful for diseases due to nutritional deficiencies. Medicines are really against disease.

Targeted drugs for what diseases**. If you are not seriously ill, you can take health products if you lack nutrition in the physical examination. Sick health products are placebos, and they must be used to fight poison.

It has the effect of ** disease, for the purpose of curing diseases, and it is a drug with a drug number. There is no exact curative effect, it can help the body**, and there are health care products.

Health food is health supplement, so there is no difference between the two.

1. The approval number is different.

Medicine is the word medicine standard, and health care products are the word food health.

2. Different indications.

Drugs have strict indications, while health products are only used by the population.

3. Production and quality control are different.

Drugs can only be marketed after strict review and clinical trials by relevant state departments, and health care products can be put into the market without clinical trials in hospitals, and the quality requirements of drug production are much higher than those of health care products.

4. Different routes of administration.

Health products are taken orally, while medicines can be intravenously, orally, orially administered, etc.

First, the concept is different.

1. Food: Food refers to all kinds of finished products and raw materials for human consumption or drinking, as well as items that are both food and Chinese medicinal materials according to tradition, but do not include items for the purpose of **.

2. Drugs: Drugs refer to substances used to prevent, diagnose and diagnose human diseases, purposefully regulate human physiological functions, and stipulate indications or functional indications, usage and dosage, including traditional Chinese medicine, chemical drugs and biological products.

3. Health care products: health care products are a type of food, which has the commonality of general food, can regulate the functions of the human body, and is suitable for specific groups of people to eat, but not for the purpose of ** disease.

3. Health care products: Health care products are purchased freely in supermarkets or pharmacies, according to consumers' own knowledge, without the guidance of doctors or professionals, according to their own knowledge and conditions.

3. Health care products: Health care products are used to regulate body functions, improve the body's ability to resist diseases, improve sub-health status, and reduce the risk of diseases.

Drugs refer to substances used to prevent, diagnose and diagnose human diseases, purposefully regulate human physiological functions and stipulate indications or functional indications, usage and dosage, including Chinese herbal medicines, Chinese herbal decoction pieces, Chinese patent medicines, chemical raw materials and their preparations, antibiotics, biochemical drugs, radioactive drugs, serum, vaccines, blood products and diagnostic drugs.

Health food is what we usually call health care products, which are suitable for the health care of specific groups of people. Health supplements are not a substitute for medicines.

Health food, commonly known as health care products, can regulate the functions of the human body, and is suitable for specific groups of people to eat, but not for the purpose of ** disease. Therefore, in the promotion of products, there can be no words related to efficiency, success rate, etc.

There are also different approval numbers for drugs and health products:

The drug must be able to see the approval number on the packaging: "National drug quasi-word H (or digit", which means that the State Food and Drug Administration approved the production and marketing of drugs, H letters on behalf of chemical drugs, Z Chinese patent medicines, S biological products, J imported drugs domestic packaging, B drugs with auxiliary role, F pharmaceutical excipients.

If there is no "national drug quasi-word" approval number on the package, it is definitely not a drug, if there is a "national drug quasi-word" you log in to the State Food and Drug Administration data query, enter the drug name or the letter and 8 numbers after the "national drug quasi-word", and what you can't find is also a fake drug.

The approval number of the State Food and Drug Administration must be seen on the packaging of health care products: Guoshijian word G (J) + year number + serial number, and the letter G refers to domestic J refers to imports. or the approval number of the Ministry of Health:

Wei Shi Jian Zi (Wei Shi Jian Jin Zi) + year number + serial number. In addition, it is stipulated that the special logo of the health care product must be marked above the packaging or label: "blue hat", a pattern similar to a blue hat, with the words health food underneath, and the approval number below the four words of health food.

Without a blue hat and a health product approval number, it is a fake health product.

Hello, health food is a special type of food. Although health food and food have a lot in common, some health foods have the characteristics of food, such as high-protein nutritional powder, yogurt with health care function, etc., with specific color, aroma, taste and shape of food, in addition to providing nutrients necessary for human survival, it also has the claimed health care function; However, health food, as a special type of food, is still very different from food

Health food is included in health care products, the difference between health care products and drugs is that there is no restriction on the use of health care products, unlike drugs that limit the number of grains, how many grams, how many milliliters, etc., and the efficacy of health care products is auxiliary**.

The difference between health food and health care products is that health food is eaten, and health care products can be used, such as magnetized cups or something; The difference between health food and medicine is that health food is based on safety (that is, it is not necessarily useful), and medicine is based on efficacy.

The easiest way is to look at the batch number: drug Guoyao quasi-word、、、 health care product Guoshijian word or health food-healthy word、、、

Drugs are substances used to prevent, diagnose and diagnose human diseases, purposefully regulate human physiological functions, and stipulate indications or functional indications, usage and dosage.

Health care products, also known as health foods, refer to foods with specific health care functions or supplementing vitamins and minerals for the purpose of supplementing vitamins and minerals.

The above is the difference between health care products and medicines introduced to you by the health care housekeeper of the old sect medicine.

One is preventative and the other is curative.

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.

One is used for prevention and conditioning, and the other is used for cure.

Drugs refer to substances that are used to prevent, diagnose and diagnose human diseases, purposefully regulate human physiological functions, and stipulate indications or functional indications, usage and dosage. Health food is used to regulate body functions, improve the body's ability to resist diseases, improve sub-health status, reduce the risk of disease, not for the purpose of preventing and improving diseases. To put it simply, medicine can cure diseases, but health products cannot cure diseases.

Let's take a look at their differences: the production capacity and technical conditions of different drugs in the production and formula composition must be strictly reviewed by the relevant state departments, and through strict inspection of pharmacology, pathology and viruses and years of clinical observation, and can only be put into the market after being identified and approved by the relevant departments, with exact efficacy and indications, and clear adverse reactions; However, health care products can be put on the market without going through clinical trials in hospitals. Quality control in the production processDifferent vitamin drugs must be produced in pharmaceutical factories, and the quality control requirements in the production process are very high, such as air cleanliness, sterility standards, raw material quality, etc.

Currently, all pharmaceuticals are required to meet GMP standards (Good Manufacturing Practices). Vitamin foods, on the other hand, can be produced in food factories with lower standards than pharmaceutical production. The approval number and logo are different, "Wei Shi Jianzi" or "Guo Shi Jian Zi" is the product approval number of health food approved by the Ministry of Health and the State Food and Drug Administration in different periods, "Wei Shi Jian Zi" is the approval number of the Ministry of Health in 2003 and before, since the establishment of the Food and Drug Administration in 2004, "Wei Shi Jian Zi" will be re-approved and converted to "Guo Shi Jian Zi".

The word medicine is accurate: it is a drug, which can cure diseases and has curative effects; Food health word: health care products, can be healthy, not curable.

The difference in efficacy as a drug, must have undergone a large number of clinical verification, and passed the review and approval of the State Drug and Food Administration (SFDA), has strict indications, and has a certain curative effect on the disease. As a health food, it has no first-class effect, only testing pollutants, bacteria and other health indicators, and it can be marketed if it is qualified.
