Abstract

In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in nutraceuticals, which offer health advantages and are alternatives to the existing treatment. Nutraceuticals can be extracted, incorporated as dietary supplements, and added to foods. Nutrients, herbs, and dietary supplements are the primary components of nutraceuticals that make them useful for preserving health, combating various diseases, and enhancing the quality of life. The booming expansion, research advancements, marketing fervor, quality control, and regulation will have a significant impact on their success or failure. The intention of this review is to evaluate the principal nutraceuticals that have an important function in the mitigation and cure of infectious as well as non-infectious illnesses.
