What is a Nutraceutical?

A nutraceutical is a bioactive health product that combines nutritional and pharmaceutical benefits to promote wellness, prevent diseases, and support optimal body function. It encompasses dietary supplements, functional foods, herbal extracts, vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and specialized formulations designed for health enhancement. Nutraceuticals enable the delivery of essential nutrients, bioactive compounds, and therapeutic ingredients using materials such as plant extracts, amino acids, omega fatty acids, antioxidants, and probiotics. Nutraceuticals are widely used in preventive healthcare, disease management, immune support, cognitive enhancement, and customized wellness programs. Their ability to bridge nutrition and medicine, support holistic health, and meet growing consumer demand for natural remedies makes them essential in modern healthcare and wellness ecosystems.
