Nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products

摘要

In this review, we examine two different categories of products - nutraceuticals and Pharmaceuticals - which, by analogy, we concentrate into a single and large sector, of which we provide evolutionary data with reference to 2019 and the first hypotheses developed for 2020. Referring to the brief excursus on the meaning of "nutraceutics" shown in the box, we focus our attention on enriched foods and supplements. From a first examination of the data relating to 2019, not yet complete at the time of writing, it emerges that the nutraceutical segment records consumption growing by about 3%: a trend that stands out remarkably in the general context of stability recorded the same year.
