WHAT ARE NUTRACEUTICALS
Any substance that may be considered a food or part of a food and
provides medical or health benefits, including the prevention and
treatment of disease.
It includes vitamins, minerals, herbs and other botanicals, amino

Therapeutic Goods Regulations 1990 (as amended)
1) Product licensing: All CMs must be entered (on application to the TGA) in the
ARTG. Regulation is on the basis of risk. Products can be either listed (low risk) or
registered (higher risk).
2) Good manufacturing practice: All products must be manufactured in compliance
with GMP.
3) Site licensing: The TGA licenses manufacturers and audits GMP compliance.
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF

29. 4) Labelling requirements: Registered medicines (higher risk) are identified on the
label by AUST R followed by a unique number. Listed medicines (low risk) are
identified on the label by AUST L followed by a unique number.
5) Post-market regulatory activity: The TGA takes a risk-based approach to post-
market surveillance.

30. Health Claims: Types
1. General level claims: General level claims are claims where the
manufacturer has to make an assessment of the evidence supporting
the claim prior to the product going to market, and to hold the
evidence

Case Study 1. India Case Study of Indian Organic farmers producer
Company limited, Kochi, Kerala
Introduction This study analysed a case of indian organic farmers producers
company limited: (IOFPCL) based at Kochi, Kerala.
Triggering factor for formation of Producer Company:
Members of IOFPCL are basically dealing with organic farming of high
value-low volume commercial crops viz. pepper, cardamom, vanilla, coffee,
cocoa, etc
Issues for future Consideration: the following issues emerged for future
consideration during case study of IOFPCL and interactions with the
primary producers.
PPC‟s dealing with agricultural commodities have to essentially focus on
productivity enhancement for creating marketing surplus .

37. SUMMARY
From the above dissertation work we have been enlighten with the
Comparative Study of Nutraceuticals Registration in different countries.
Also discussed about Nutraceutical definitions, types, Registration
Procedures for Nutraceuticals and Case Studies in India, Canada &
Australia.
In India Nutraceutical known as “Foods for Special dietary use” regulated &
registered by FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India), In
Canada they known as Natural health products regulated and registered
under NHPD (Natural health product Directorate), in Australia they Known
as Complementary medicines regulated & registered by TGA (Therapeutic
goods Administration)
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF
REGULATORY REGISTRATION PROCEDURE OF NUTRACEUTICALS
IN INDIA, CANADA AND AUSTRALIA
38. CONCLUSION
Nutraceuticals are playing an important role in the development of future
therapeutics but it depends on the control of purity, efficacy and safety.
Hence, when any new Product/entrant wants to enter in the Nutraceutical
market of particular country, it is very important to comply with the
regulatory framework of that country, so that the business is run smoothly.
The focus areas should be product evaluation for each active ingredient in
the context of permissibility, standards and dosage of vitamins/minerals
allowed, product classification as per various healthcare laws (legal
definition of the product), Country-specific health & label claims and
advertising.
