List of Nutraceutical Companies In Malaysia

The pharmaceutical industry in Malaysia is one of the major manufacturing sectors that contribute not only to the well-being of the population but also in terms of economic output to the country. The global nutraceutical market is a growing industry. One of the main reasons for this growth is consumers’ greater awareness of their own health, especially as they age. On top of that, many people with chronic health issues and diseases turn to more natural methods instead of pharmaceutical solutions.

Also, due to poor nutrition in some places, there is an increasing emphasis on food fortification by governments. Overall, there is a great demand for these products. As a result, increasing demand for nutraceutical ingredients causes the price of raw materials to also rise.

What are Nutraceuticals?

Nutraceuticals (a combination of the words ‘nutrition’ and ‘pharmaceutical’), are standardized nutrients which the FDA regulates as dietary supplements and food additives . There are several types of nutraceuticals:

Dietary supplements. Vitamins, minerals, amino acids, herbs, and enzymes marketed in various forms: tablets, capsules, gelcaps, softgels, powders, and liquids. Some popular dietary supplements include vitamin D, calcium, ginseng, and fish oil.

Functional foods. Fortified or enriched foods that are marketed beneficial to consumers’ health.

Medical foods. Prescribed by physicians and taken under medical supervision. Often given to surgical patients and premature babies.

Farmaceuticals (‘farm’ and ‘pharmaceutical’). Made from genetically-engineered crops or animals to provide more nutrients.
