APPLICATIONS
Abstract

A nutraceuticals or “bioceuticals” is alternatives to drugs or medicines which gives numerous

health benefits and nutrients for human well beings and animals. We know that
pharmaceuticals are used for the treatment of various types of diseases such as cancer,
diabetes, anaemia, heart disease, etc… but the nutraceutical are used for both treatment and
prevention of diseases.it can also referred as “FOOD As..Medicine” because it relies on
healing power of plant based materials.

There are several plants and herbs like tulsi, turmeric, papaya, berries, grapes, amaranth
leaves, spirulina, and some marines which are good source of nutrients which helps in
prevention of disease like CVS, GIT problems, kidney dysfunction and liver and disorders .

These have least side effects, are locally available and economic. Nutraceutical have higher
efficacy.

KEY WORDS: Nutraceutical, Classification, Sources, Uses, Global marketed products.

Introduction

The word "Nutraceuticals" is coined from two word Nutra (which means the food which provides
nourishment) and pharmaceutical(which means medicinal property)[1] . Many dietary compounds are
present in nutraceuticals which balances the anabolism and catabolism occurring in the body. In the
past two years (2019-2021),COVID-19 has caused a severe health issue to the millions of peoples
worldwide and it has mainly resulted in weakening of the immune system.[2]

It regulates the homeostasis functions and boost the metabolism in the body which is required for
proper functioning of the organs. It helps in prevention of osteoarthritis(a degenerative disease) which
results in stiffness, swelling in the synovium joint.[3]

It is not just the source of tremendous energy but also has several medicinal and therapeutic benefits.
The aim of nutritional therapy is to replace the supplementary therapy with nutraceuticals. it improves

disease and focus on lowering the bad cholesterol that is low density lipoprotein(LDL).[8]

in short we can say that nutraceuticals the food or products which are obtained from the herbal and
medicinal plant sources and helps in human wellbeing and prevention of chronic disease like anaemia,
calcium deficiency, osteoporosis, psoriasis, etc.[8]
