Abstract
Nutraceuticals can be used to prevent, support and treat some pathological conditions, and can be considered food-drugs, given that they possess the healing properties of natural active ingredients of recognized effectiveness, they are safe from the point of view of origin and they have a better bioavailability and tolerability compared to drugs that might, on the opposite, determine the occurrence of unwanted side effects. A nutraceutical is a food or part of a food that provides health benefits in addition to its nutritional content.
