| Abstract | Nutraceuticals have emerged as an important area of research because of their potential role in health promotion and disease risk reduction. These bioactive products, obtained from natural and food-based sources, are increasingly utilized as supportive agents in the management of various chronic and degenerative disorders. The growing consumer preference for preventive healthcare and safer therapeutic options has significantly expanded the scope of nutraceutical applications in modern healthcare systems. Nutraceutical compounds such as probiotics, polyphenols, flavonoids, carotenoids, dietary fibres, and plant-derived extracts exhibit a wide range of biological activities including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticancer, and immunomodulatory effects. The present review highlights the classification, sources, mechanisms of action, therapeutic applications, and clinical significance of nutraceuticals in maintaining human health. Particular emphasis is given to their role in reducing oxidative stress, improving metabolic functions, enhancing immune responses, and supporting cardiovascular and neurological health. The paper also discusses current advancements in nutraceutical research, challenges associated with quality control and standardization, and the importance of scientific validation for their efficacy and safety. With increasing global interest in functional and natural healthcare products, nutraceuticals are expected to play a significant role in future nutritional and therapeutic strategies. |
