This document discusses nutraceuticals and their potential uses. It begins by classifying nutraceuticals into nutrients, herbals/phytochemicals, and dietary supplements. It then discusses some specific nutraceuticals like artichoke extract, green tea catechins, and apple extracts, outlining their bioactive components and potential health benefits such as cholesterol lowering, antioxidant effects, and neuroprotective properties. The document also discusses using nutraceuticals like apple varieties to help treat metabolic syndrome and compares this approach to using atorvastatin.
Development of Nutraceuticals & functional foodsEkta Belwal
“Nutraceuticals” & “Health food” shops has grown enormously, fostered by wide media coverage of their benefits. There has been a boom in their sales as patients rush to self-medicate, either in the hope that these products will be effective in treating diseases unsatisfactorily treated with pharmaceuticals, or that the adverse effects of some pharmaceuticals may be avoided.

Nutraceuticals is a broad umbrella term that is used to describe any product derived from food sources with extra health benefits in addition to the basic nutritional value found in foods.Nutraceutical, a portmanteau of the words “nutrition” and “pharmaceutical”, was coined in 1989 by Stephen L. DeFelice, founder and chairman of the Foundation of Innovation Medicine.[1] The term is applied to products that range from isolated nutrients, dietary supplements and herbal products, specific diets and processed foods such as cereals, soups, and beverages.
presentation about Nutraceutical
The term “nutraceutical” combines the word “nutrient” (a nourishing food or food component) with “pharmaceutical”(a medical drug). The word “nutraceutical” has been used to describe a broad list of products sold under the premise of being dietary supplements (i.e. a food), but for the expressed intent of treatment or prevent of disease.
This presentation is about the emerging field of nutraceuticals, its relation with the food, health and pharmaceuticals. How the food we daily intake plays a major role in providing stability and treating or preventing ailments. It also has information about the top 3 chronic diseases as listed by WHO and how the nutraceuticals associated with them.

Nutraceutical is the hybrid of ‘nutrition’ and ‘pharmaceutical’. Nutraceuticals; in broad, are food or part of food playing a significant role in modifying and maintaining normal physiological function that maintains healthy human beings. The food products used as nutraceuticals can be categorized as dietary fibre, prebiotics, probiotics, polyunsaturated fatty acids, antioxidants and other different types of herbal natural foods. These nutraceuticals used in various diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes, cholesterol, hypertension etc. In whole, ‘nutraceutical’ has lead to the new era of medicine and health, in which the food industry has become a research oriented sector. This article aim to provide the knowledge of nutraceutical with its uses in various diseases.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

16. i. The olistic medical approach.
ii. The static approach: the patient, often unaware of a
potential health risk, waits till the clear signs of the onset
of a disease appear (watchful waiting or active
surveillance medicine) and then obtain a diagnosis and
starts using prescription drugs.
iii. The nutraceutical dynamic approach also known as
“initiative medicine or proactive medicine”: taking
preventive action before the onset of a disease instead
of waiting for the disease to become evident.
Scope of use - Some preliminary considerations
on handling an health condition.
17. Primary prevention
Secondary prevention
• Lifestyle – behaviour – dietary habits
Possible approaches:
• Drugs (waitchful waiting medicine)
• Nutraceuticals (pro active medicine)
The availabile tools.
21. Broadly can be classified as:
• Nutrients: Substances which have established
Nutritional functions e.g. Vitamins, Minerals, Amino Acids,
Fatty acids, etc.
• Herbals/ Phytochemicals: Herbs or Botanical products
• Dietary Supplements: Probiotics, Prebiotics,
Antioxidents, Enzymes, etc.
25. Legal View
Nutraceuticals: food or drugs?
QUESTION placed at the European Commission E-000065/2011 (dr.
Christian Muscardin) about the presence on the market of products, called
"nutraceuticals", which, unlike normal dietary supplements, have the effects
of preventing or reducing the risk of disease, especially degenerative of a
particular structure or function of the organism.
• ANSWER given by Commissioner John Dalli on behalf of the European
Commission, February 21, 2011:
• The term "nutraceutical" is not currently defined in Community
legislation.
• These products, under the current legislation, should be classified as
dietary supplements or following authorization for marketing as drugs.
26. Court of Justice of the European Union: medicine/drug food.
• if it is presented as having properties for treating or preventing disease in human beings
(definition of "presentation");
• if it is to be administered to human beings with a view to making a medical diagnosis or to
restoring, correcting or modifying physiological functions (definition "by function").
Plant-based products marketed in the form of dietary supplements (vegetable origin similar
to nutraceuticals) must comply with Directive 2002/46/EC on food supplements and
Regulation (EC) n. 1924/2006 on the claims about the effects of nutrition and health foods.
If a product, taking into account all its characteristics, may fall within the definition of a
medicinal product and the definition of a product covered by other Community legislation,
apply the Directive 2001/83/EC revised by Directive 2004/27/EC (food and drugs
nutraceuticals).
Nutraceuticals: food or drugs?
27. Source of Nutraceuticals: where can be
found.
An approximate number of about 30,000 phyto components have
been identified in plants.
• Approximately 5,000-10,000 are present in plant foods of
common use/consumption.
• Assuming 5 daily servings of fruits and vegetables, you ensure
the intake of about 1.5 g / day of nutraceuticals
phytocomponents.
32. Uses of Nutraceuticals: therapeutic uses.
Prevention/Therapy using nutraceuticals.
- Hypercholesterolemia
- Hypertension
- Type II diabetes
- Hypertryglyceridemia
- ………..
Metabolic syndrome
A nutraceutical pro active
approach is possible?
33. Nutraceuticals: possible uses.
An example.
The artichoke (Cynara scolymus) extract polyphenols: the main
components are chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid and cynarin.
In year 1900 scientific research has focused on the properties
hepatostimulants, hepatoprotective, choleretic and
hypocholesterolemic associated to extracts of Cynara leaves, as
advocated by medicine doctors already in year 1700.

of salts and bile acids rich in cholesterol;
2. inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis.
• Cholesterol is synthesized in the liver from acetyl-CoA
and released in plasma.
• The extent of hepatic biosynthesis is controlled by the
intracellular concentration of cholesterol.
Nutraceuticals: possible uses.
38. Nutraceuticals: possible uses.
Green tea: functional food/nutraceutical
Obtained from a plant: Camellia sinensis (L.).
The freshly harvested leaves are immediately processed to inactivate the
enzymatic oxidation process.
• Green tea has the highest concentration of polyphenols than other types of
tea.
• Green tea has hypoglycemic properties.
46. Nutraceuticals: possible uses.
Apple: an in se functional food ?

approach.
PPARg (proliferator-activated receptor gamma) a nuclear receptor has a primary role in
lipid and carbohydrates metabolism.
Problem: PPARg-targeting drugs are characterized by unwanted side effects.
Natural products from edible biomaterials are a structurally different resource to easy
the complex side effects of common use drugs.
It can be adopted a nutritional tailored approach to easy side unwanted effetcts.
Amorfrutins, extracted from the edible part of two legumes, namely Glycyrrhiza
foetida and Amorpha fruticosa, are new and potent anti diabetes agents.
They selectively bond to the PPARg receptor and activate it.
