Abstract

Nutraceuticals is now gaining attention as an alternate route to modern medicine. Accumulated evidence poses a great challenge for food chemists, nutritionists, food technologies and physicians as health authorities regard nutraceuticals a prominent tool for the maintenance of sound health and to detoxify nutritionally induced chronic and acute disease forms thereby promoting individual's quality of life. During the past few decades, the use of nutraceuticals has increased in industrialized countries. In low- and middle-income countries, nutraceuticals never stopped being important, often representing the only therapeutic system to which certain people could refer. This had created an urgent need that the conditions for the correct and appropriate use of nutraceuticals are put in place by educating stakeholders. If correctly applied (i.e., following criteria of safety, efficacy and quality), these methods could contribute to protecting and improving the perceived human's quality of life.
