• Abstract:

  The inclusion of functional foods

  in the prescription of diets, the prescription of

  nutritional supplements and the practice of

  phytotherapy are attributed to the nutricionist.

  These skills worked during graduation can

  be part of topics to be addressed by the

  students in the preparation of the Course

  Completion Works, a mandatory component

  for the completion of the Nutrition Undergraduate Courses according to the National

  Curricular Guidelines. Thus, the objective of this research was to verify the use of the

  subjects “supplementation”, “functional foods” and “phytotherapy” in the training of the

  nutritionist through the analysis of the TCCs of the students of the course of nutrition

  of the Centro Universitário de Volta Redonda. For this, an integrative bibliographical

  review was used as an exploratory method, with a qualitative approach and a method

  of bibliometric analysis. Of the 216 papers analyzed, 42 of them presented the themes

  defined, the subject being the most approached followed by functional foods and finally

  phytotherapy. There was a predominance of the use of bibliographic review in the

  analyzed productions and it was still possible to perceive a preference for the use of

  the topic supplementation in the field of sports nutrition, the theme functional foods in

  the context of the development of new products and clinical nutrition and the topic of

  herbal medicine exclusively in the area of clinical nutrition.
