Abstract

Neurological diseases are one of the major healthcare issues worldwide. Posed lifestyle changes are associated with a drastically increased risk of chronic illness and diseases, posing a substantial healthcare and financial burden to society globally. Researchers aim to provide fine treatment for ailing disorders with minimal exposed side effects. In recent decades, several studies on functional foods have been initiated to obtain foods that have fewer side effects and increased therapeutic activity. Hence, an attempt has been made to unravel several extraction techniques disorders and nutraceutical therapy in the prevention of disease. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurological illness that causes memory loss over time. Currently, available pharmaceutical medicines and products are limited, and they have side effects at a higher price. Researchers and scientists have observed significant effects of nutraceuticals. Various preclinical and clinical studies were investigated for the Anti- Alzheimer's activity of nutraceuticals. The increasing ability of the pathogenesis of AD has led to the analysis of novel therapeutic targets, including the pathophysiological mechanisms and distinct cascades. So, current improvement will show the most adequate and prominent nutraceuticals and suggested concise mechanisms involving autophagy regulation, anti- inflammatory, antioxidant, mitochondrial homeostasis, and others. The effects of nutraceuticals cannot be ignored; it is important to acquire essential bioactive compounds or phytochemicals from therapeutically active food products. This has led to the conception of the term functional foods being meddled with other similar terms like “pharmafoods,” “medifoods”, “vita foods”, or “medicinal foods”. With a dire need to adhere to healthy options, the demand for nutraceuticals is widely increasing to combat neurological interventions. An association between food habits and individual lifestyle with neurodegeneration has been manifested, thereby proposing the role of nutraceuticals as prophylactic treatment for neurological interventions. The current review covers some of the major neurological to investigate high- quality clinical trials. Given the potential of nutraceuticals to battle. AD as multi- targeted therapies, it's vital to evaluate them as viable lead compounds for drug discovery and development. To the best of the authors ‘knowledge, modification of bloodbrain barrier permeability, bioavailability, and aspects of randomized clinical trials should be considered in prospective investigations
