Applying a pharmaceutical format, this reference is the first to analyze nutraceutical extracts and formulations in a pharmacopoeia-like manner. It provides rigorous information on more than 175 individual products. Introductory chapters provide detailed scientific information on physiochemical characterization, analytical methods for developing robust reproducible products, biopharmaceutical characterization, pharmacokinetic evaluations, and regulatory characterization including the current Good Manufacturing Procedure (cGMP) requirementsfor Nutraceutical products. Individual monographs on each nutraceutical follows a unified format. The various nutraceuticals are classified as herbal, animal, mineral, synthetic, and ethnic origin.
