Role of Nutraceuticals in health and disease prevention: A Review Article

Abstract

Nutraceuticals can offer health benefits beyond simple diet; they have become an important part of contemporary preventative healthcare. These bioactive substances, which come from natural food sources including plants, animals, and microbes, are crucial for controlling physiological processes and lowering the chance of developing chronic illnesses. According to current scientific knowledge, nutraceuticals affect health through a number of processes, such as immunological boosting, metabolic regulation, anti-inflammatory effects, antioxidant activity, and gut microbiome manipulation. Together, these efforts help prevent and treat serious illnesses like diabetes, metabolic syndrome, heart disease, gastrointestinal problems, cancer, obesity, and neurological disorders. All things considered, nutraceuticals are a promising and quickly developing sector that connects nutrition and medicine, providing fresh chances to advance tailored nutrition, prevent disease, and promote health.
