ABSTRACT

Because of their assumed safety, nutraceuticals have sparked a lot of attention. The current article focuses on the importance of eating appropriate diets, health issues associated with failure to follow established healthy eating models, development of new nutraceuticals /functional foods/food supplements with novel health benefits, elucidation of these products' mechanisms of action, and defining and understanding the analytical, formulation, and regulatory aspects of nutraceuticals. This article can be used to keep up with latest advances in nutraceutical research. When it comes to definitions, claims, purposes, and marketing methods, traditional nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals are pragmatic. Their definitions aren't universally accepted. In addition, in different regions of the world, they have distinct regulatory definitions and registration regulatory processes. In comparison to traditional pharmaceuticals, the global prevalence of nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals is strikingly high, with a large market share and limited regulation. Many producers and researchers, in addition to traditional formulations, utilize new formulation technologies in nutraceutical and cosmeceutical formulations for a variety of reasons and aims. Manufacturers tend to differentiate their products with novel formulations to increase market appeal and sales. On the other hand, researchers use novel strategies to enhance nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals activity and safety.
