A Review on Nutraceutical
The terms “nutrition” and “pharmaceutical” are combined to form the term “nutritraceutical.” Nutraceuticals are compounds with substantial health benefits that are either food or a component of food. In the prevention and treatment of illnesses, nutraceuticals and nutritional therapy—that is, nutraceuticals are complementary therapies that provide energy and nutrients while also potentially offering therapeutic benefits—have grown in popularity. Both contemporary and conventional biotechnology techniques are used in the development and production of nutraceuticals. Because of its anticipated safety as well as their potential nutritional and medicinal benefits, nutraceuticals have gotten a lot of praise.They were employed as a substitute for contemporary medicine to improve health, raise dietary nutrient levels, and extend life expectancy. Herbal supplements and other nutrients are a major component of nutraceuticals, which help prevent many diseases and reduce the pathophysiology of disease. Additionally, it has anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and natural antioxidant properties. Along with several health-promoting properties, this substance has anti-diabetic, cardioprotective, and oreganoprotective properties. With the food sector adopting a research-oriented approach akin to that of the pharmaceutical industry, the nutritional revolution ushered in a new era of claimed medical and health benefits. They have been crucial in the treatment of conditions like obesity, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular disease, Parkinson’s, COVID-19, and more.Nutraceuticals are nourishing substances that are biologically active, have the potential to maintain maximum health, and are a combination of pharmaceuticals and nutrition. These items are vital for human health care and endurance, especially for the development of future treatments. Nutraceuticals have gained recognition for their safety profile, medicinal efficacy, and nutritional advantages. In the areas of disease prevention, health care promotion, and other services, nutraceuticals are expanding internationally. In this review, numerous drug-nutritraceutical interactions have also been explained using a variety of cases.
