PharmPK Discussion - Use of quercitin in food supplements

• On 31 Jul 2013 at 09:33:02, Nishant Paliwal sent the message
  

  
  Dear Group
  
  I have a small query regarding the use of a phytocompound “quercitin”.
  
  I like to know that if this phytocompound is used in its purified form in a functional food, food or
  a dietary supplement whether it will affect the regulatory status of the final product. In another
  way whether a product prepared by using quercitin Is still covered under regulations for functional
  food, food or a dietary supplement. I look forward for your expert comments on this.
  
  Regards

  Nishant:
  
  A company could make a case that quercitin is "grandfathered" as an ingredient in dietary
  supplements (I assume we are talking about the F.D.A. because other countries have very different
  requirments).. The regulatory requirements for a functional food is much more strict than for a
  dietary supplement. The real issue for inclusion of quercitin in a food or dietary supplement is the
  claims made in advertising...they are very limited.  You can not say they "cure" or "treat" any
  disease.
  
  Sincerely,
  
  Carol Collins
