Abstract

George Shou

Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs) constitute a formidable global health challenge, linked predominantly to lifestyle factors. Nutraceuticals, bioactive compounds in food and supplements, have gained prominence for their potential in preventing and managing NCDs. This abstract provides a succinct overview of the pivotal role of nutraceuticals in NCD mitigation. The discussion encompasses various aspects, including cardiovascular health, cancer prevention, diabetes management, traditional herbal remedies, obesity and cognitive health. Nutraceuticals offer a promising avenue to augment public health efforts in curbing the escalating burden of NCDs, though continued research is essential to harness their full potential.
