Abstract

Nutraceuticals are food items or components that offer health benefits, encompassing illness prevention and therapy. They tackle significant health concerns such as neurological illnesses, cardiovascular diseases, gastrointestinal troubles, cancer, osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes, and hypercholesterolaemia. Nutraceuticals typically exhibit fewer adverse effects than conventional medicines and are derived from natural sources. These goods are classified into three primary categories: nutrients, herbals, and dietary supplements. The market is experiencing tremendous growth, particularly in dietary supplements at 19.5% annually and natural/herbal products at 11.6% annually. The global nutraceutical market is projected to attain USD 404.8 billion by 2025. The FDA regulates dietary supplements like food products for safety in the United States. The Food Safety and Standards Act was enacted in India in 2006 to govern the nutraceutical business. Herbal nutraceuticals are essential for preserving health and combating both acute and chronic illnesses, hence improving general well-being. Epidemiological studies suggest that modifications in diet, particularly an increase in fruit and vegetable consumption, can reduce risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease. Foods abundant in antioxidants, possess anti-inflammatory qualities, and those that reduce lipids and blood sugar may impede the advancement of cardiovascular diseases and act as therapeutic therapies. Nutraceutical interventions augment traditional therapies, providing supplementary alternatives for enhancing gastrointestinal health. This review paper comprehensively analyses the effects of nutraceuticals on several conditions, including neurological, gastrointestinal, and cardiovascular ailments.
