Anti-Aging Diet & Nutraceuticals

Nutraceuticals are an essential component in an anti-aging diet and part of a comprehensive anti-aging therapy program.

Nutraceutical is a combined term from “nutrition” and “pharmaceutical.”

Although it usually is used in reference to nutritional supplements, it sometimes is used to indicate a food (or food product) that provides health benefits for the prevention and treatment of disease.

Nutraceuticals might be dietary supplements or functional or medical foods.

Dietary supplements contain nutrients derived from food products that are concentrated as extracts, concentrates, tablets, capsules, soft gels, gelcaps, powders or liquids.

Ingredients may include vitamins, minerals, herbs or other botanicals, amino acids, and substances such as enzymes, organ tissues, glandulars, and metabolites.

Functional foods are enriched foods close to their natural state but that have been either enriched or fortified in a process called nutrification (or fortification).

This process restores the nutrient content in a food back to similar levels from before the food was processed.

Medical foods are those that are formulated for consumption or administration under the supervision of a physician.

When it comes to which nutraceuticals to take, it can get confusing.

There are incredible differences in manufacturers with wide ranges of quality and bio-availability.

Bio-availability is the extent to which a nutrient or medication can be absorbed and used by the body.

In anti-aging therapy it is crucial to have good bio-availabilty to reap the most health benefits out of your program.

Vitamins, anti-oxidants, minerals and nutritional supplements such as fish oils are critical for the proper fueling, building, detoxification and metabolic balance.

Because of the critical role nutraceuticals play in anti-aging therapy, we conducted extensive research and reviewed many product lines to find what we consider the absolute best.
