Abstract: 
A people are quite concerned about their health in the contemporary environment since lifestyles have changed significantly as a result of longer work hours and numerous psychological stressors, which has raised the frequency of various life-threatening diseases. Various associated nutraceutical products are promoted as remedies for issues such as hair thinning, diminished self-esteem, unsatisfactory skin appearance, varicose veins, alcohol dependence, depression, and fatigue. This chapter endeavors to categorize the different types of nutraceuticals, providing examples along with their respective applications. Additionally, the chapter discusses the design and development of dosage forms aimed at enhancing the delivery mechanisms of nutraceuticals, while also highlighting the significance and challenges involved in this process. Challenges persist despite the promising potential of nutraceuticals, such as inconsistent regulatory standards, insufficient clinical validation, and variability in product quality. The absence of comprehensive, large-scale trials frequently hinders their acceptance in conventional medical practice. This abstract highlight the transformative capacity of nutraceuticals in altering health care paradigms, while emphasizing the need for enhanced scientific validation, improved regulatory frameworks, and increased public awareness to optimize their advantages and ensure safety.
