Abstract

Nutraceuticals are bioactive substances of natural origin. They are products derived from food sources with the capacity to provide extra health benefits in addition to the basic nutritional value found in foods. It encompasses dietary supplements, herbal products, probiotics and prebiotics, and functional foods meant for the prevention and treatment of diseases. Depending on the chemical composition, nutraceutical products may prevent chronic diseases, improve health, delay aging, increase life expectancy, and boost the immune system. They are used as an alternative to synthetic drugs to promote health quality and boost the nutritional values of diets. They are accepted universally by all age groups because of their safety, quality, purity, efficacy, health-promoting potential, and therapeutic potential. However, this review article is aimed at discussing the history, classification, health benefits, and disease prevention potentials of nutraceuticals.
