Targeted Nutraceuticals

Meaning

Targeted nutraceuticals are specific, bioactive compounds derived from food sources that are administered at therapeutic doses to precisely influence defined biochemical pathways or physiological endpoints. Unlike general supplements, these agents are selected based on an individual’s systems-biology data, such as genetic polymorphisms or biomarker deficiencies, to address a specific root cause of hormonal or metabolic imbalance. The intervention is highly personalized, aiming for a pharmacological effect using natural compounds.
