Abstract :
Nutraceuticals mainly are known as pharmaceutically formulated products with both nutritional and therapeutic benefits. Unquestionably, nutraceuticals and bioactive compounds hold enormous potential for strengthening the healthcare system and preventing disease along with treatment which requires a holistic approach beyond simply limiting them to specific regulatory categories. Promising the effectiveness of these substances necessitates a concentration on rigorous scientific evidence, proper processing and storage to maintain their integrity, and appropriate delivery systems for optimal bioavailability. The aim of this review is to summarize the nutritional content and nutraceutical values, and also emphasis on the significance of bioactive compounds in playing their crucial roles in maintaining skin health and addressing various skin concerns. These compounds, found naturally in plants and other sources. The current review article focus on Fruits, oyster mushrooms, plant oils, and marine-derived products which are excellent sources of antioxidants, and crucial for combating free radical damage and supporting cellular skin health. These natural compounds, found abundantly in these food sources, help neutralize harmful free radicals, potentially preventing oxidative stress and promoting overall well-being .The bioactive compounds in these foods , play a crucial role in maintaining cellular health and preventing oxidative stress.
