require concerted efforts and collaborations in the whole supply chain including
researchers and manufacturers. Another challenge that could be there in the over use
of medical foods and medical formulas is that they may encourage default from
prescriptions and may also excercebate drug resistance. The relationship between
over use for chronic conditions and drug resistance need to be explored for medical
foods and baby formulas. The future in medical foods needs to focus on the inclusion of nutraceuptide studies of formulations that come from extracts from the
kingdom animalia (including insects and larger animals). However, the most important aspects to be maintained shall have to remain efficacy and toxicity of the formulations among other properties.
