Overview
The term “nutraceutical” is used to describe these medicinally or nutritionally functional foods. Nutraceuticals, which have also been called medical foods, designer foods, phytochemicals, functional foods and nutritional supplements, include such everyday products as “bio” yoghurts and fortified breakfast cereals, as well as vitamins, herbal remedies and even genetically modified foods and supplements. Many different terms and definitions are used in different countries, which can result in confusion.
Nutraceuticals are products that are derived from food sources and have potential health benefits beyond their basic nutritional value. They are often marketed as dietary supplements and can include vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts, amino acids, and other natural compounds.
Food labelling regulations do not allow food labels to carry health claims in many countries. This makes it hard for companies marketing nutraceuticals to advertise the benefits of their products without a medicine license, so they may decide either not to do any research or they may research a new product thoroughly and possibly obtain a patent. Unfortunately, many companies tend towards the former option due to either expense, the problems of obtaining a patent on a natural product, or the fact that they cannot put their claims on the label without a product licence, whether verified or not.

Unlike pharmaceuticals, which are strictly regulated and require clinical trials to demonstrate their safety and efficacy, nutraceuticals are not subject to the same level of regulation. However, they are still subject to quality control standards and must meet certain criteria to be marketed as dietary supplements.
Nutrients are the chemical elements that make up food. Nutrients like proteins, carbohydrates, and fats provide energy while other nutrients like vitamins, water, electrolytes, and minerals are needed for a healthy metabolism.
Metabolism is a process that involves all chemical reactions that take place in the body to convert the food we eat into energy, which is then used to synthesize compounds needed by all cells of the body. Metabolism maintains the living state of all cells and organs.
The pathways of metabolism depend on the nutrients the process breaks down. If all the nutrients are present in the right amount, our body, including all the organs and systems, function well. This means that your body can heal or repair properly and quickly.
But if you don't have enough nutrients, then your body takes longer to repair or you might deal with harmful complications. When this happens, nutraceuticals can provide extra nutrients needed for optimum metabolic reaction and for your body to function properly.
