Afroja A. Mujawar*, Simran J. Jamadar and Akanksha A. Kamble
ABSTRACT
This review explores nutraceuticals natural food-derived substances offering therapeutic and preventive health benefits beyond basic nutrition. The term, coined in 1989, blends “nutrition” and “pharmaceutical.” The paper classifies nutraceuticals based on their source (plants, animals, microbes), chemical nature, mechanism of action, and functional use (e.g., dietary supplements, functional foods). It discusses their role in managing lifestyle diseases like cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, obesity, and inflammation. The review also highlights promising compounds such as omega-3 fatty acids, curcumin, plant sterols, and probiotics. Despite their potential, issues like lack of standardization and regulation pose significant limitations to their widespread and effective use.
