The Indian government is contemplating bringing nutraceuticals under price control to enhance affordability for consumers. Currently regulated by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) without price controls, these products, often marketed as over-the-counter health supplements, face scrutiny for high pricing. Officials argue that some companies charge exorbitant prices by repackaging pharmaceutical ingredients into nutraceuticals. A committee involving various health and regulatory bodies aims to introduce pricing regulations to curb this trend and ensure fair pricing.
