Abstract

Nutraceuticals refer to food products that have a positive impact on the well-being of individuals. This category includes dietary supplements, herbal products, probiotics, and prebiotics, as well as medical foods designed for disease prevention and treatment. The nutraceutical market is witnessing substantial growth worldwide, primarily due to the growing awareness among consumers about the connection between diet and health. Additionally, there is a rising demand for functional foods and dietary supplements. As consumers prioritize preventive healthcare, they are increasingly looking for products that provide targeted health benefits beyond basic nutrition. The rise of this trend can be attributed to various factors, including the aging population, rising healthcare expenses, and a preference for natural and organic ingredients. Nutraceuticals, as a major force in the industry, offer numerous beneficial effects with minimal undesirable impacts, thus attracting more consumer interest. The increasing shift towards preventive treatments, along with the growth in disposable income and a positive market outlook for the pharmaceutical sector, has primarily contributed to the expanding nutraceutical market in India. However, challenges such as the lack of regulation and awareness, high pricing, marketing, and distribution issues need to be addressed. Nutraceutical market is seeing flowing development chiefly in United States, India, and European nations. This review article primarily focuses on providing a concise overview of nutraceuticals, categorizing them, and discussing their significant roles in various health conditions. Additionally, it delves into the present and future status of nutraceuticals on a global scale.
