Abstract
Nutraceuticals, which include vitamins, minerals, herbal products, and functional foods, have gained significant attention for their potential health benefits. Their interaction with pharmaceutical drugs can significantly influence drug efficacy and metabolism. This review explores the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interactions between nutraceuticals and conventional drugs, highlighting both beneficial and adverse effects. The article also examines the underlying mechanisms of these interactions, the role of cytochrome P450 enzymes, and the implications for clinical practice and drug development.
