Nutraceutical, a portmanteau of nutrition and pharmaceutical, refers to the food elements claiming to have a medicinal effect on human health. Conventionally, nutraceuticals came in general medicinal format like capsules, tablets or powder. Although of late, modern nutraceuticals started coming in various forms of foods; or are included in foods; or as a whole food itself.

On the holistic basis, nutraceuticals are divided in three segments viz. functional foods, nutritional supplements and beverages. Functional food/medicinal food is any fresh/processed food laying claims of being health-promoting or disease-preventing product, beyond being the basic nutrient supplier. On the other hand, a dietary supplement/nutritional supplement/food supplement is an intermixture of various vitamins, minerals, and trace elements which are used for supplementing a person’s diet when it lacks the underlying elements or when their consumption is inadequate. In the report, the nutrition supplement market is covered at large.
