The term Nutraceutical comes from combining the words "nutrition" and "pharmaceutical". Essentially nutraceuticals refer to a wide range of products, from dietary supplements and herbal compounds to foods with high nutritional value. Scientific evidence proves that food choices, as well as certain herbs, vitamins and supplements, can be extremely effective in improving health and lessening the symptoms of certain health conditions. The trick is to know what nutraceuticals to use, when, and for how long.
