Difference between Nutrition and Orthomolecular medicine

Nutrition vs. Orthomolecular medicine

Nutrition is the science that interprets the interaction of nutrients and other substances in food in relation to maintenance, growth, reproduction, health and disease of an organism. Orthomolecular medicine, a form of alternative medicine, aims to maintain human health through nutritional supplementation.
