Abstract

Nutraceuticals are food-based products that provide additional health advantages over basic sustenance. These compounds are intended to prevent or treat illnesses, promote health, and improve quality of life. They include vitamins, minerals, amino acids, herbs, and other dietary supplements. Growing knowledge of the importance of diet in maintaining health and preventing disease is what is fuelling the interest in nutraceuticals. The article provides a summary of the range of nutraceutical types, their mechanisms of action, and potential benefits. It also emphasises current research projects and the legal and regulatory issues surrounding their application. Understanding the bioactive components and mechanisms of action of nutraceuticals, evaluating their safety and efficacy, and figuring out the best dosages are the main goals of research into these products.

Keywords: Food, Health benefits, Diseases prevention, Research and Developments.
