U.S. Nutraceuticals industry is expanding rapidly with the advent of novel products to increase life expectancy and support the function of the body
Nutraceuticals are used in many
medicinal systems and alternative health care systems. The subject matter is
vast and includes nutritional supplements for the manufacture of bio-available
proteins, vaccines, antibiotics, and other pharmaceuticals. Nutraceuticals have
also been identified as ingredients in alternative therapies such as
chiropractic care, acupressure, and massage therapy. Nutraceuticals do not come
from nature. Instead, they are created in a laboratory through biotechnology
processes. In this overview, much effort is devoted to introducing new concepts
on Nutraceuticals related to their potential disease-modifying effects.
Emphasis is also made to introduce
nutraceuticals into daily dietary supplements to make them more effective on
difficult curative conditions associated with oxidative stress such as
allergic, cardiovascular, inflammatory, neurological, respiratory, and
colorectal disorders. While dietary supplements are intended to augment the
nutritive value of the diet, nutraceuticals are intended to improve the
disease-modifying effect of existing medicines and promote the prevention of
future diseases. These new approaches have been recognized and reported in
numerous studies.
A major area of focus in the U.S.
nutraceuticals is oxidative stress including cancers. Cancer is a
disease in which cells are affected due to mutation, exposure to toxic
chemicals, oxygen, or radiation. Nutraceuticals such as curcumin, superoxide
dismutase (SOD), and selenium are beneficial in preventing oxidative stress
including cancers of all types, although more particularly colorectal,
pancreatic, renal, and breast cancer. Research has shown that these compounds
are also useful in combating other diseases including bacterial, viral,
parasitic, neurological, and endocrine disorders.
The U.S. nutraceuticals and food
supplements made from herbs and plants are also gaining popularity among
people. A study was conducted recently by a group of researchers from the
University of Wisconsin, U.S., who studied using various scientific sites to
find out different aspects of how nutraceuticals are working on the different
aspects of health and fitness. Recently, in August 2020, Enlightlife Science
Pvt. Ltd. launched its new nutraceutical product line with the aim to combat undernourishment
and immunity deficiency.
