THERAPEUTIC AND PREVENTIVE ROLE OF NUTRACEUTICALS AND PRODUCTION OF VITAMINS & LOW-CALORIE SUGARS FROM FOOD-GRADE MICROORGANISMS AS NUTRACEUTICALS

Abstract

Nutraceuticals may influence number of  disease conditions and many molecular pathways, as well as hundreds of proteins and genes. They frequently influence multiple molecular pathways. The adverse effects of some pharmaceutical therapies and the rise in antibiotic resistance have sparked interest in nutraceutical substances as an alternative therapeutic and preventative approach. They also have the advantage of being more widely available and reasonably priced. Numerous studies have definitely shown how beneficial dietary components are for immune system functions. These include enhancing the mechanism for responding to infections, bolstering immunomodulatory activity, and mitigating the impact of autoimmune disorders and hypersensitivity. Additionally, it has been shown that nutraceuticals have lipid-lowering, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and antioxidant properties. In this review article, we will discuss about the role of microorganisms derived nutraceuticals in human health.
