On May 2021, the UK Government has published a report of proposals to attract \u00a0significant investments and boost innovation in the Nutraceutical sector post Brexit. This report points out the emergence of an active \u2018 nutraceutical\u2019 sector generating an expanding range of non-pharmaceutical \u2018 over the counter\u2019 nutritional products with health benefits. The pace of bioscience is creating a whole new sector of health enhancing \u2018 superfoods\u2019 and supplements such as enriched broccoli or probiotics. This report highlights the current patchwork of regulators in UK according to the types of health benefit. Where a product like a food or a herbal remedy makes \u2018 medicinal\u2019 claims, i .e. it claims to help cure or mitigate a disease, it is regulated in the UK by the Medicines\u00a0and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). Where a food product makes \u2018 health\u2019 claims, i .e. it claims to benefit your health more generally, it is regulated by the department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) i n England, by the Food Standards Agency \u00a0in Wales and Northern Ireland, and by Food Standards Scotland in Scotland. This regulatory framework with a binary separation of medecines (MHRA) and food standards (FSA)\u00a0 does not fit well with the needs of market.<\/p>\n
