Nutraceuticals dietary supplement foods as oral dietary components are considered to enhance nutritional value. The concept was invented in 1989 by Dr. Stephen De Felice who merged the terms ‘nutrition’ and ‘pharmaceutical’. Nutraceutical may be described as a food (or part of a food) that provides medical or health benefits, including the prevention and treatment of a disease.
Nutraceuticals help to battle some of the century’s biggest health issues, such as obesity, cardiovascular disorders, cancer, osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes, cholesterol, aging of the skin, etc. Overall, nutraceuticals have contributed to a new era in medicine and health, in which the food industry has become a field focused towards science.
