Nutraceutical

Nutraceutical is a terminology evolved scientifically also through
marketing which is used to imply a pharmaceutical effect from plant extracts,
compounds, food products which have efficacy and therapeutic influence on
clinical outcomes and patient care largely through supplements. Nutraceuticals
are products derived from food sources that are purported to provide extra
health benefits, in addition to the basic nutritional value found in foods.
Depending on the jurisdiction, products may claim to prevent chronic diseases,
improve health, delay the aging process, increase life expectancy, or support
the structure or function of the body.
