In the present context, individuals express profound concerns about their well-being due to significant changes in lifestyles, characterized by a surge in working hours and heightened psychological pressures. These shifts have resulted in a notable uptick in the prevalence of severe diseases. Simultaneously, dissatisfaction prevails regarding the costly, high-tech approach to disease treatment and management. Consequently, there is a growing demand for nutraceuticals and phytonutrients, with people increasingly relying on these for diverse therapeutic purposes.Nutraceutical products are acknowledged not only for their positive impacts on health, reducing the risk of cancer, heart diseases, and related conditions, but also for their efficacy in preventing or addressing issues such as hypertension, high cholesterol, excessive weight, osteoporosis, diabetes, arthritis, macular degeneration, cataracts, menopausal symptoms, insomnia, diminished memory and concentration, digestive upsets, and constipation. Nutraceuticals have gained trust in alleviating headaches and migraines induced by stress. Additionally, certain nutraceutical products are promoted as remedies for thinning hair, lack of confidence, poor complexion, varicose veins, alcoholism, depression, and lethargy.This chapter endeavors to categorize various types of nutraceuticals, providing examples and exploring their applications in treating diverse disorders. Furthermore, it delves into the design and development of dosage forms to enhance the delivery of nutraceuticals, outlining both their significance and the challenges associated with implementation.
