Advanced Nutraceuticals

Dietary supplements are items that include concentrated bioactive ingredients from a food source that have been processed into a dose form that is acceptable for human consumption. Amino acids, vitamins, herbs or other botanicals, minerals, essential metabolites, and specific enzymes are all possible ingredients in these supplements.

Dietary supplements come in a variety of forms, including pills, capsules, powders, liquids, candies, energy bars, and other edibles.

Any food or food ingredient that provides a health benefit in addition to basic nourishment is referred to as a functional food.

Probiotics are live bacteria that improve or restore gut flora, providing health advantages when eaten.

Nutraceuticals are helpful in preventing the onset of chronic diseases and reducing the difficulties that come with them. They may be utilized in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and inflammatory illnesses, according to evidence.

• Improve Eye Health
• Improve Immune Function
• Improve Gut Health
• Support Reproductive Health
• Treat Inflammation

Nutraceuticals are beneficial in sports medicine because they help athletes improve their performance while also reducing oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction that happens as a result of intense exercise.

MTNs such as resveratrol and quercetin, in particular, have been demonstrated to have antioxidant actions at a molecular level, which increase mitochondrial bioenergetics and contribute to improved exercise performance and recovery.

Nutraceuticals have been used to prevent and treat diseases in humans and animals for thousands of years. Animals with illnesses of the central nervous system (CNS), cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal, hepatic, renal, immunological, and other systems are given nutraceuticals. Some diseases, such as osteoarthritis in horses and dogs and type II diabetes in dogs and cats, are more common in certain species than others.

Nutrients and nutraceuticals have been shown to play an essential role in the prevention, management, and treatment of mental health diseases and psychological functioning, according to research.

Omega-3, vitamins B and D, magnesium, iron, zinc, cur cumin, lycopene, and b-carotene are among the nutrients and nutraceutical substances that have been shown to improve mood, stress, anxiety, depression, and cognitive functioning.

Antioxidant-rich nutraceuticals aid in the prevention of neurological illnesses including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.

Nutraceuticals require delivery systems that shield them from the severe environment of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract in order to improve their efficacy. Various drug delivery techniques, such as nanoparticles, liposomes, dendrimers, phytosomes, nanoemulsion, and others, were used, as well as nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems, such as biocompatible polymers, including smart polymers that are stimuli responsive.

Cosmeceuticals are skincare products that have both aesthetic and therapeutic properties and are meant to improve skin health and appearance. They are applied as creams or lotions, just like cosmetics, but they contain active substances that affect skin cell function. Some of their effects are limited to the skin's surface (exfoliants), while others can permeate deeper into the skin, increasing or inhibiting natural skin functions.

The products or compounds acquired from marine sources such as fish, prawns, sponges, and a variety of other marine species are known as marine nutraceuticals. Proteins, peptides, carbohydrates, vital minerals, bioactive peptides, vitamins, enzymes, phenolic phlorotannins, and polyunsaturated fatty acids are all found in nutraceuticals (PUFA). Many of these are also used to treat diseases as therapeutic agents. Because of their multiple potentials for usage as nutraceuticals, marine sources are well-known for biologically active materials

Dietary supplements or food fortification are the two regulatory pathways for bringing nutraceuticals to market. Both dietary supplements and traditional foods are allowed to make recognized and qualified health claims, but they are limited and require an expensive and time-consuming FDA regulation process. Food regulations should be harmonized around the world.

Nutrigenomics is a branch of research concerned with determining how the food we eat affects the way our genes work. There is a growing recognition that gene function plays a significant role in our changing health states, and that DNA influences not just our inherited features but also our risk of disease.

Natural medicine, often known as herbal medicine, has been practiced for hundreds of years. People who prefer to treat symptoms and illnesses using natural treatments rather than medications practice natural medicine.

Natural medicine, often known as naturopathy, is a type of complementary medicine that includes homoeopathy, herbalism, acupuncture, and dietary and lifestyle counseling.

Many researchers regard Ayurveda to be the earliest therapeutic discipline.

Many of the natural treatment techniques that are presently popular in the West, such as Homeopathy and Polarity Therapy, have their roots in Ayurveda.

Ayurveda emphasizes prevention and urges people to maintain their health by paying particular attention to life balance, correct thinking, nutrition, lifestyle, and herb use. Body, mind, and consciousness all work together in Ayurveda to maintain equilibrium.

Over the last three decades, the use of herbal medicinal goods and supplements has skyrocketed. Although some herbal medications have a lot of promise and are extensively utilised, many of them haven't been studied and their use hasn't been supervised. Various marketing in the mass media, including television and radio shows, have raised consumer awareness and given herbal products an excessive amount of legitimacy and credibility.
