Nutraceuticals
Nutraceuticals are products, which are used as food, as supplementary nutrition and also as medicine.
A nutraceutical product may be defined as a substance, which has physiological benefits or provides protection against chronic disease.
It may be used to improve health, delay the ageing process, prevent chronic diseases, increase life expectancy, or support the structure or function of the body.
Nutraceuticals have received considerable interest due to their potential nutritional, safety and therapeutic effects.
