Abstract

The term “nutraceutical” was coined from word “nutrition” and “pharmaceutical” in 1989 by Stephen DeFelice. Nutraceuticals, in broad term, are food or food parts playing an important role in maintaining and modifying normal physiological function that maintains human health. They do not easily fall into the category of food and drug and often fall between these two. Drugs show various side effects and adverse effects due to which consumers are generally switch towards food supplements to improve health. Such products may range from isolated nutrients, dietary supplements and functional foods, herbals products, prebiotics, probiotics, genetically engineered foods and other processed foods including cereals, soups and beverages. The principal reasons for the progressive growth of the nutraceutical market worldwide are the awareness of the population towards their health and eating habits. These nutraceuticals help in preventing some of the major health problems such as obesity, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, cholesterol etc. Through this review we wish to aware our population towards the essential benefits of nutraceuticals which will lead to the new era of medicine and healthcare
