Aprajita Bhagat and Deoraj Sharma

About two-thirds of the\r\n6.1 billion people living in the globe rely on the healing power of plant-based\r\nmaterials. ‘Nutraceuticals’ are apart from herbal items, dietary supplements,\r\ncertain diets, and processed foods like cereals, soups, and drinks that are\r\nused for medical purposes in addition to being a source of nourishment. It\r\nplays a vital role in people day to day-to-day life for example green tea.It involves herbal items,\r\nprobiotics and prebiotics, medicinal foods intended for illness prevention and\r\ntreatment, and food supplements. It has strong therapeutic effects to\r\npique people\'s interest. It can be used to boost well-being, slow down ageing, stop chronic\r\ndiseases from occurring, lengthen life expectancy, or support the body\'s\r\nstructure or functions. Currently, the market for Nutraceuticals in India is\r\nexpanding mostly because of an increase in healthcare spending, but there are\r\nstill significant problems, including a lack of standardization and awareness,\r\nhigh prices, marketing, and distribution. However, the Nutraceuticals sector is\r\nstill experiencing tidal expansion, particularly in the USA, India, and European\r\ncountries.
