The interface between prescribed medicines and nutritional factors is so overlooked that it is commonly referred to as drug-nutrient interactions. We decided PharmacoNutrition is a suitable name as it encompasses the broad scope of the field.
Pharmaconutrition interactions are overlooked because -
The ultimate question is “Who will conduct the research?”:
PharmacoNutrition comprises 2 components -
The online platform Medications & Nutrition provides a comprehensive range of clinically-useful, referenced, research evidence that is presented in a dot point format to improve accessibility to the latest research for busy clinicians. Examples of integration formats are included in the Case study component of our MedNut Mail series.
