Abstract

The growing interest in nutraceuticals globally can be attributed to current population trends and a heightened awareness of health and wellness. Nutrients, herbals, and dietary supplements play pivotal roles in nutraceutical formulations, offering presumed safety and potential therapeutic effects. These products are recognized for their ability to address various lifestyle-related conditions, contributing to the enhancement of the quality of life. The reference to combating major health problems such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes, among others, underscores the potential impact of nutraceuticals on a wide range of health conditions. The focus on using food products for both promoting health and managing diseases reflects a paradigm shift in the approach to healthcare. The characterization of the nutraceutical industry as a research-oriented sector indicates the continuous exploration and development of new products and formulations. This aligns with the evolving landscape of medicine and health, where the food industry plays a crucial role in advancing scientific understanding and contributing to preventive healthcare. In summary, your description provides a comprehensive and insightful overview of nutraceuticals, emphasizing their role in the modern era of medicine and health.
