INTRODUCTION
• Dr. Stephen De Felice fi rst used the word ‘Nutraceutical’ in 1989. 
• The term is an amalgamation of ‘nutrition’ and ’pharmaceutical’. 
• They are food or parts of food that confer various health benefi ts, including the 
prevention/treatment of diseases. 
• They do so by prolonging the need for conventional medicines or serving as a 
non-pharmacological alternative for diseases and conditions.
• There is an increase in the isolation of nutrients from food products, which are 
being used extensively.

considerably improve the quality of l ife.
• Some common applications of nutraceuticals include the management of 
dermatitis, irritable bowel syndrome and improving cognitive health [1].
