Abstract

Health improvement mediated by “Nutraceuticals” has triggered an increased global interest and the current global market size of herbal Nutraceuticals is estimated between 30 and 60 billion. For the contribution to the human health and national economy, attempts were made to evaluate nutraceutical potentials of certain common plants available in the Gorakhpur district of Uttar Pradesh, India. This article justifies their use in the traditional medicines for the treatment of various diseases as well as for nutritive purposes.
