“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” - Hippocrates
In the end of the 20th century, scientists became more aware of the amazing and broad spectrum of health, anti-aging, and disease preventing benefits of foods. From foods especially high in this naturally occurring “new” array of phytonutrients—found in fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds — to zoo nutrients from dairy, egg, and fish oil, a scientific term for them arose: Functional Foods.
At the beginning of the 21st century, as the public became more aware of the many benefits of these functional foods, a new popular name for them arose: The SuperFoods.
“Nutrients and other bioactive food components that occur naturally in foods act synergistically with other dietary elements...dietetics professionals have a unique opportunity to promote whole foods...In addition...functional food products can be developed that further enhance the health benefits of food... a combined functional food and food supplements approach may afford the greatest protection...”
– American Dietetic Association Position Paper on Functional Foods, 1995
In the future, a wide range of select foods may be “prescribed” to enhance the health of an individual.
Medical foods are now being developed as nutritional powders formulated to help support specific health conditions.
Some of the leaders in this field of nutritional science include Metagenics, BioPharma Scientific, Thorne Research, Biotics, Crayhon Research,
Designs for Health, Protocols for Life, Biogenesis and many others.

- Features a unique blend of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, bioflavonoids, and the phytonutrients rutin, curcuminoids, and quercetin to nutritionally support a balanced inflammatory response

- Provides turmeric extract, which has been shown in research to inhibit the activities of a wide variety of enzymes, cytokines, eicosanoids, and reactive species implicated in pain and inflammation
