CONCLUSION
Currently, nutraceutical industry is operating as a blend of regional regulations of
different countries. The existing regulatory framework for nutraceuticals is disorganized
with no global standards for compliance. Therefore harmonization of regulations is
necessary to remove the regulatory flaws across the countries and to ensure the product
quality.
