_Nutraceutical
word as such, is a very popular one for that matter in scientific circles,
is simply a spin on the concept of pharmaceutical and includes food
items of plant origin (herbs, food additives, food supplements which
have both nutritional values to a small or a greater extent and
medicinal properties) to help supplement nutrition and boost health in a
pharmacological way, hence the name, Nutraceuticals instead of
Pharmaceuticals.
