Medical food is a category of products for dietary management or supportive therapy for specific disease or medical conditions such as pulmonary and metabolic disorders. Ingredients used in medical foods must have generally recognized as safe (GRAS) status, which is assigned to naturally found food materials. Medical food is different from nutritional food, dietary supplements, and prescription drugs. Medical food is protein-based, nutrient-based (Omega 3 fatty acids, chelated zinc, and isoflavones), and may contain minerals and vitamins such as folic acid and thiamine. These products are prescribed by physicians or taken under their supervision. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has classified medical foods into four major categories namely, nutritional complete products, nutritionally incomplete products, formulas for metabolic disorders, and oral rehydration solutions. The U.S. FDA separately regulates medical food category under Orphan Drug Act (1988) to ensure safety of populace and curb presence of products falsely claiming to cure medical conditions. Medical food does not require premarket approval, specification as an Investigational New Drug (IND), and individual registration with the FDA. However, they are required to support all their health claims with proper laboratory and clinical studies.

Market Dynamics

Medical food, although a prescribed product, offers various advantages over prescription drugs such as lesser side effects, lower product costs, and nutritional benefits. Leveraging the preference for convenience food formats is expected to favor long-term growth of the medical food market. Besides, personalized medicine is a developing field, wherein the patient’s genetic makeup is used to guide the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. Medical food is expected to gain a strong foothold in the personalized medicine sector. According to a report by Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute, in 2013, 70% of all chronic diseases were fundamentally the results of nutrition deficiencies or imbalances, in the U.S. Such nutrition-based etiologies could be directly addressed with the help of medical foods in the initial stages of diseases, preventing further loss. Thus, management of diseases by treating individual nutritional deficiencies, increases the demand for personalized medicines. The awareness regarding medical food and its benefits, among healthcare professionals and patients is critical for growth of the market.
