Health care products are the trend of social development. At present, there is no uniform name and definition in the world. China calls it "health food", and many countries and regions in Europe and America call it health food, dietary supplement or nutritious food. Health products have a long history in China and have been recognized by scholars all over the world. However, in recent years, due to the lack of necessary basic research, there is a lack of innovative achievements. In terms of management, it is also in the stage of exploration and legislation. Therefore, domestic health care products are still in the stage of gradual development in recent years.

With the development of China's economy and the improvement of people's living standards, the production and consumption of health food are playing an increasingly important role in people's daily life. Health food is the need of all kinds of people in modern society. Therefore, in the past 20 years, the health care industry has also developed rapidly.

For the domestic medical and health care industry, the government has adopted a management mode of restriction, recognition and legalization. In the 1980s, national laws and regulations did not allow the promotion of health products. Did you really order most health foods on the market? With people's thirst for health and the rise of functional foods in other countries in the world, China has been studying health care products, and then it is gradually accepted by the market. Then 1996, the state promulgated the Measures for the Administration of Health Food, gradually regularizing health care products.
