Nutraceuticals are the substances that are sourced from whole foods, plants or animal origins that deliver therapeutic as well as nutritional benefits. The term nutraceutical is derived by combining two words, “nutrition” and “pharmaceutical”. Nutraceuticals provide a combination of nutritional support as well as medicinal properties, making them valuable for enhancing overall well-being and addressing specific health issues.

The prevalence of chronic diseases has significantly increased over the years, raising serious concerns. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, in 2024, around 2 million new cancer cases and 611,720 deaths due to cancer have been reported in the US, with a significant rise in cancer rate predicted in the coming years. This alarming trend underscores the urgent need for effective cancer prevention strategies. Therefore, adopting a healthy lifestyle and diet can play a crucial role in the prevention of cancer. It is worth mentioning that carotenoids and other nutraceuticals possess antioxidant properties and have been linked to the prevention of cancer, diabetes and various other diseases.
