Abstract

Nutraceuticals, derived from natural sources, offer health benefits beyond basic nutrition. Ayurveda, an ancient Indian medical system, incorporates several herbal formulations that align with modern nutraceutical principles. This paper explores the Ayurvedic perspective on nutraceuticals, key herbal components, their therapeutic benefits, and modern scientific validation. The integration of Ayurveda into contemporary wellness approaches highlights its relevance in preventive healthcare. This study also emphasizes the need for further research and standardization to ensure the global acceptance and safety of Ayurvedic nutraceuticals.
