Regulatory Oversight in Wellness

Meaning

Regulatory Oversight in Wellness refers to the governmental, professional, and ethical scrutiny applied to products, services, and practices within the health and wellness sector, particularly those operating outside the traditional, tightly controlled disease-treatment paradigm. This oversight is primarily intended to safeguard consumers from misleading health claims, ensure product safety, and enforce a baseline standard of quality and ethical marketing practices. It typically addresses areas such as dietary supplements, functional foods, and various non-traditional, health-promoting interventions.
