Medical foods are specially formulated and regulated foods intended to be used under medical supervision for the dietary management of specific diseases or conditions with distinctive nutritional needs. These products are typically prescribed by healthcare providers and are designed to provide specific nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, or other nutrients, that may be lacking or inadequate in a person's regular diet. Medical foods are not the same as dietary supplements or conventional foods, as they are specifically formulated to meet the distinct nutritional needs of individuals with certain medical conditions.
