In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in nutraceuticals, which

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,

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.
