Classification of Nutraceuticals
1. Potential Nutraceuticals - one which has promising
approach towards particular health or medicinal benefit.
2. Established Nutraceuticals – A Potential Nutraceutical
becomes Established Nutraceutical only after there are
sufficient clinical data to demonstrate such a benefit.

Classification based on source
1. Plants - Tomato, Garlic, Momordica
2. Animals - Shark liver oil, Cod liver oil
3. Minerals - Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorous
4. Microorganism - Bifidobacterium, Lactobacilli

Nutraceuticals mainly consists of :
1. Nutrients: Substances which have established
Nutritional functions e.g. Vitamins, Minerals, Amino
Acids, Fatty acids, etc.
2. Herbals/ Phytochemicals: Herbs or Botanical products
3. Dietary Supplements: Probiotics, Prebiotics,

administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit
on the host
Species of Lactobacillus
Yeast Saccharomyces Cerevisiae
some E. Coli and Bacillus species are also used as
probiotics• Probiotics have been shown to have applications in

Prebiotics- Nondigestible substances that provide a
beneficial physiological effect for the host by
selectively stimulating the favorable growth of a
limited number of indigenous bacteria.
Commonly known prebiotics are:
• Oligofructose .
• Inulin
• Galacto-oligosaccharides
• Lactulose

Nutraceuticals may range in the form of :

Conclusion
Nutraceuticals may be beneficial to our health but we are still
learning about their benefits and possible harmful effects.
Government regulatory bodies also face challenges in this
new category of health products, which lies between foods
and drugs.
Health professional , Nutritionists and regulatory toxicologist
should strategically work together to plan appropriate
regulation to provide ultimate health and therapeutic benefit
to mankind. 26
