Short Notes On Nutraceuticals/ Herbaceuticals/
Ayurvedic Ingredients
Nutraceutical refers to any sort of nourishing
food that provides protection against chronic
health problems. The word nutraceutical is a
combination of two words nutrient (a
nourishing food component) and pharmaceutical
(a medical drug). The basic philosophy is
focussing on prevention by keeping food as our
medicine. Herbaceutical refers to a health or
dietary supplement made with herbs or
plant-derived components. Active elements are as
powerful as those found in compounds that are
designated as medicines or drugs.
