What are nutraceuticals?
Nutraceuticals are newly discovered food/nutrition products with a proven positive effect on the human body. Nutraceutical, a portmanteau of nutrition and pharmaceuticals, refers to extracts of foods claimed to have a medicinal effect on human health. The nutraceutical is usually contained in a medicinal format such as a capsule, tablet or powder in a prescribed dose. More rigorously, nutraceutical implies that the extract or food is demonstrated to have a physiological benefit or provide protection against a chronic disease.
Nutraceuticals support optimal health and nutrition, building strong immune systems, superior cognitive function, healthy cardiovascular systems, overall peak performance and enhanced quality of life.
