In recent times orthopedic surgeons have faced three common dilemmas in their day-to-day practice. These include changing patient profiles (fitness addict senior citizens), challenges in patient care (nonhealing osteoporotic fracture), and extensive use of whey proteins and other supplements by youngsters. Neutraceuticals science plays a vital role and is a valuable tool for orthopedicians in these scenarios complementing well with the standard of care. The recent COVID-19 pandemic and widespread misinformation have brought to the forefront limitations of science, social media's influence, and nutraceutical medicine's role in enhancing health and well-being. As nutraceuticals are in focus from all healthcare stakeholders -doctors, patients, and service providers an expert consensus is required to enhance bone, joints, and muscle health. A group of national orthopedics experts came together to achieve this consensus. The literature review on pharmacology, clinical data, and experts' experience in using nutraceuticals, formed the base of this consensus. This expert consensus will help bridge the void due to the absence of national and international guidelines on integrating modern and nutraceutical medicine. It will facilitate better patient care for bone, joint, and muscle health.
