Innovative nutraceuticals encompass the merging of nutrition and pharmacology, as they offer bioactive compounds that enhance health and well-being beyond the components of basic nutrition. Specialized products in this field contain beneficial compounds such as vitamins, minerals, probiotics, polyphenols, and other functional food ingredients that, when incorporated into the diet, provide prevention of disease, enhance physiological function, and promote general health and well-being. Contributions in formulation science, delivery systems, and clinical evidence are continuing to expand the opportunities for nutraceuticals for use in both preventive and therapeutic settings. This session will cover the latest opportunities, scientific evidence, and practical applications of nutraceuticals – including their use in nutrition and health, development of functional foods, and value-stream integration into public health strategies to improve health outcomes.
