Abstract
The words "nutrition" and "pharmaceutical" are combined to form the phrase "nutraceutical." Nutraceuticals are compounds with substantial health advantages that are either food or a component of food. In the prevention and treatment of illnesses, nutritional therapy and nutraceuticals—complementary treatments that provide nutrients and energy while also possibly having therapeutic benefits—have grown in popularity. Both conventional and contemporary biotechnology techniques are used in the development and production of nutraceuticals. Because of its anticipated safety as well as their potential nutritional and medicinal advantages, nutraceuticals have drawn a lot of attention. They were utilized in place of contemporary medicine to improve health, extend life expectancy, and raise dietary nutrient levels. Nutraceuticals have been shown to prevent or treat high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, osteoporosis, diabetes, arthritis, macular degeneration, cataracts, menopausal symptoms, insomnia, memory loss, and constipation. They have also gained significant trust in the treatment of migraines and stress-related headaches, and other related products are marketed as treatments for lethargy, thinning hair, lack of confidence, poor complexion, varicose veins, alcoholism, depression, and lethargy. These products are in addition to their ability to reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, and other related conditions. Due to their safety record, efficacy as medications, and nutritional advantages, nutraceuticals are gaining international recognition in the domains of disease prevention, health promotion, and other services. The purpose of this review article is to inform readers on the use of nutraceuticals in treating various illnesses.
