RESUMENEl conocimiento de la fisiopatología de enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles ha hecho que la dieta, los estilos de vida saludables y el autocuidado hagan parte de las estrategias para su prevención, esto se debe a que la terapéutica farmacológica tradicional puede traer consigo efectos adversos no deseados, por lo que se prefieren nuevas alternativas menos lesivas, más seguras y con la misma efectividad. Con base en lo anterior, se hace uso de diferentes estrategias para dar a conocer los efectos benéficos que los nutracéuticos le pueden brindar a la salud de sus consumidores, sus funciones fisiológicas y el tratamiento de enfermedades; pero sin duda alguna el aumento progresivo del consumo de estos suplementos ha generado preguntas sin resolver en la comunidad y el gremio médico sobre la real composición, los efectos fisiológicos y adversos que estos productos puedan tener para la población en general.Palabras clave: nutrición, alimentos funcionales, dieta, hábitos alimenticios. NUTRACEUTICAL CONSUMPTION, AN ALTERNATIVE IN THE PREVENTION OF NON TRANSMISSIBLE CHRONIC DISEASES ABSTRACTThe knowledge of the physiopathology of most of chronic non transmissible diseases has made diet, healthy lifestyles, and self-care become part of the strategies for their prevention because the traditional pharmacologic therapy can bring unwanted side effects, so new less harmful, safer and equally effective alternatives are preferred. Based on the above, different strategies are used to publicize the beneficial effects nutraceuticals can have on the health of their consumers, their physiological functions and disease treatment; but without a doubt, the progressive increase in consumption of these supplements has raised unresolved questions in the community and the medical professionals about the actual composition, and the physiological and adverse effects these products can have for the general population.Key words: nutrition, functional food, diet, feeding habitsComo citar este artículo: Rojas S, Lopera JS, Uribe A, Correa S, Perilla N, Marín JS.
