What Nutraceuticals Can Do for You

Benjamin Franklin was right when he wrote, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” What he didn’t know, however, was that this simple proverb was so true that hundreds of years later there would be a $200+ billion market called nutraceuticals, which would be focused solely on the medical benefits derived from food sources. Named by combining the words nutrition and pharmaceutical, nutraceuticals are made from parts of food that not only provide nutritional value, but also have medical benefits.

Nutraceuticals may also:
 

 - Aid in the treatment or prevention of chronic illness or disease
 

 - Slow the aging process
 

 - Increase life expectancy
 

 - Promote overall good health
 

Nutraceuticals come in many forms ranging from isolated ingredients and dietary supplements to functional foods such as cereals, soups and beverages. Whether you’re looking to enhance your athletic performance or increase your vitamin D intake, there is a nutraceutical that can help.

Nutraceuticals versus Pharmaceuticals

In most Western countries today, the healthcare paradigm is focused on treating illness rather than promoting wellness. The cost of pharmaceutical drugs has skyrocketed; in 2012, prices rose an average of 5.3% for generics and more than 25% for brand names. There’s also growing concern about the safety of these pharmaceuticals. Many medications come with serious side effects, life-threatening risks and unproven results.In addition to these factors, the growing awareness, accessibility and affordability of nutraceuticals, combined with a growing desire to shift the healthcare paradigm to one that fosters good health and prevents illness, make them an attractive alternative solution to traditional Western medications.
