Nutraceuticals are defined as any food bioactive compounds or supplements which provide health and medicinal benefits, usually in the prevention of disease and sometimes playing a role in their treatment as well. Nutraceuticals are a combination of a variety of nutrients ranging from vitamins and minerals to certain amino acids. Nutrients are an essential part of the diet and serve a variety of roles in human physiology through various enzymes which govern biocatalysis in various metabolic pathways including tissue and DNA repair and body defense and immunity. Nutrients that are routinely prescribed as dietary supplements include multivitamins, minerals and certain specific amino acids. Nutraceuticals not only serve a pivotal role in tissue repair and body defense mechanism but also play a crucial role in various signal transduction and metabolic pathways. The deficiency of any crucial nutrient can negatively affect metabolic and transduction pathways which can lead toa variety of diseases and disorders. The preventive use of nutraceuticals is a promising new trend for a variety of diseases and disorders.
