Anti-Inflammatory, Antioxidant, Anti-Cancer, Anti-Inflammation, Anti-Lipid, Safety, Toxicity of NutraceuticalsAbstract
Important dietary components known as nutraceuticals have both therapeutic and nutritional impacts. The active ingredients in these foods, including such carotenoids, collagen hydrolysate, and dietary fibers, are what provide them their health benefits. Nutraceuticals have been shown to have a good impact on immunological and cardiovascular health, as well as play a part in the prevention of infections and cancer. Depending on its nature and manner of action, nutraceuticals can be divided into many types. Various nutraceutical categories and their therapeutic potential effects, including anti-cancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-lipid activity in disease, will be examined in this study. In addition, the many ways in which these accepted methods and structures, their application, and human safety would be covered, along with recent trends and nutraceuticals’ potential for the development.
