Pharmaceuticals are substances which have (or have had) patent protection as a result of expensive testing to conform to the specifications of respective Governments. 4

Both pharmaceuticals and nutrients can cure and prevent disease(s) but only pharmaceuticals have governmental sanction. 5

- 7. Advantage of nutraceuticals Nutraceutical have the potential to play a role in healthy eating and to contribute to the prevention and treatment of diseases so that how functional components in foods could expand the role of disease prevention and treatment. The nutraceuticals are preferred due to- Since new molecule is difficult to discover and more expensive and risky then ever before, many pharmaceutical companies are now trying to nutraceuticals so that there is undoubtedly a very huge and growing market . The belief among consumers that these “food like substances” are either harmless or least toxic as compared to conventional pharmaceuticals . Increased healthcare costs with conventional pharmaceuticals, recent legislation and scientific discoveries. 7
- 8. Inappropriate dietary habitsare seen as contributing to the leading cause of deaths of due to coronary heart disease, certain type of cancers etc. the role of nutraceuticals in treating these Conditions is thus speculated. Nutraceuticals are gaining popularity as people are relying on them for safeguarding their health and avoiding side effects associated with drugs as well Long history of use and better patient tolerance as well as public acceptance Plants constitute to be a major source of new lead generation 8

- 10. probiotic Probiotics are livemicrobial food ingredients, which are beneficial to health.Colon is the most densely populated region of the gastrointestinal tract and harbors an estimated 500 different bacterial species. Probiotic bacterial species The various types of bacteria that are having the probiotics characteristics are- Lactobacilli Lactobacillus rhamnosus Lactobacillus reuteri Lactobacillus case Bifidobacterium breve Streptococcus 10
- 11. Prebiotics are thesubstances, which reach to colon in intact form i.e. without getting depleted by the gastric pH and digestive acids. These prebiotics also selectively promote the growth of colonel probiotic bacteria; hence they act as fertilizers for these bacteria. These are collective term for non-digestive but a fermentable dietary carbohydrate that may selectively stimulates growth of certain bacterial groups’ resident in the colon, such as Bifidobacteria, Lactobacilli considered to be beneficial for the human host. inulin, which is soluble dietary fibres and resistant to digestive enzyme and thus reaches to large intestine or colon essentially intact, where it is fermented by resistant bacteria, Lactobacilli.

ANTIOXIDANTS 13 Antioxidants arequite large in number and diverse in nature which oppose the process of oxidation largely by neutralizing free radicals at relatively small concentrations have the potential to inhibit to inhibit the oxidants chain reactions . Dietary antioxidants and some accessory molecules, such as zinc and certain vitamins are important in maintaining free radical scavenging systems, biosynthetic capacity, membranes, enzymes . Antioxidants are found in the vegetable oils. eg- Soybean oil, canola oil, corn oil, oat oil, wheat germ oil, palm oil, evening prime rose oil. Like tocopherols (vitamin E) lower the susceptibility of LDL oxidation and also reduce platelet’s role in thrombus formation.
