Dr. Srinivas Rao Chinta, Ayush Ministry
New Delhi,
Feb 25: There is an urgent need for stringent regulations and quality control
in the growing Nutraceuticals market in the country, a key Ministry of Ayush
official said on Tuesday.
Key Points
1 Nutraceuticals require robust regulatory mechanisms
2 Ayurvedic principles integral to supplement development
3 Health and wellness sector witnessing exponential growth
4 Traditional knowledge driving global nutraceutical expansion
Dr Srinivas
Rao Chinta, Joint Advisor of Ministry of Ayush, asked for regulatory aspects to
be advanced to increase efficiency and safety issues.
Licensing
is a key factor that should not be overlapped in this emerging market, he said
during the Assocham’s ‘10th Nutraceutical Summit’ in the national capital.
Nutraceuticals
are the formulation of nutrients which helps in prevention and treatment of
some diseases, in addition to a supplement diet.
Dr Chinta
focused on the importance of Nutraceuticals and how regulatory bodies play a
key role in monitoring products for daily usage.
He
advocated the holistic approach of Ayurveda routine that is being followed with
the help of Nutraceuticals as everybody is concerned for their health these
days.
The
integration of Ayurvedic principles into modern Nutraceuticals has been a focal
point in recent policy developments.
The FSSAI,
in collaboration with Ayush Ministry, introduced the 'Ayush Aahar' category to
regulate and promote Ayurvedic nutritional supplement to ensure that products
align with traditional Ayurvedic recipes and processes thereby facilitating
their production and marketing.
According
to Sandeep Verma, Co-Chairperson, Assocham National Wellness Council, expressed
how consumers continue prioritising health and wellness and the nutraceutical
industry is poised for exponential growth.
With
advancements in personalised nutrition and AI-driven supplement
recommendations, the future of nutraceuticals looks promising, he noted.
Meanwhile,
the country’s Nutraceutical industry is looking to expand globally with support
from its rich heritage of traditional knowledge, especially in Ayurveda.
India’s
longstanding history in health science, especially Ayurveda, offering unique
traditional knowledge is a key advantage in the Nutraceutical industry.
Moreover, besides expertise in pharmaceutical formulation, influencing
high-quality nutraceutical standards, the country also boasts of a thriving
startup ecosystem with a growing number of successful nutraceutical companies
catalysing sectoral growth.
