Nutraceuticals encompass a spectrum of compounds, including vitamins, minerals, herbs, and dietary supplements, each with unique biochemical properties that can influence metabolic processes. With escalating rates of metabolic disorders worldwide, there's a pressing need to explore alternative therapeutic avenues. Nutraceuticals offer a compelling option, given their potential to modulate metabolic pathways implicated in conditions like obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. By delving into recent research, this article seeks to unravel the intricate mechanisms through which nutraceuticals impact metabolic health. From polyphenols in green tea and berries that combat obesity by enhancing lipid metabolism to omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil that improve insulin sensitivity, the diversity of bioactive compounds underscores the multifaceted nature of nutraceutical interventions. Through elucidating these mechanisms, this paper aims to shed light on the promise of nutraceuticals as adjunctive therapies or preventive measures in managing metabolic disorders, offering hope for improved public health outcomes.
