They come in a wider variety, starting with isolated nutrients and moving on to dietary supplements, processed foods, and even genetically altered “designer” foods. Potentially, nutritional supplements can improve health. It even slows down the ageing process and protects against chronic illnesses, extending life expectancy. The compounds used to prevent illness are known as Nutraceuticals and are often not patented. These compounds are utilised for health purposes in addition to nourishment. Accordingly, in terms of definition, we may say that a “nutraceutical” is a full food item or a portion of it that has health and medical advantages for us, and is therefore utilized to prevent sickness.
