The Global Burden of Disease study reports that the age-standardized cardiovascular disease (CVD) death rate in India is 272 per 100,000 population, significantly higher than the global average of 235 per 100,000. Moreover, CVDs tend to affect Indians approximately a decade earlier compared to populations in Western countries.1 Managing these conditions often requires a multifaceted approach, incorporating lifestyle changes, medications, and increasingly, nutraceuticals. Nutraceuticals are food-derived products that provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition and have gained substantial interest in the realm of preventive health care and chronic disease management. By leveraging the benefits of various nutraceuticals, healthcare providers can enhance patient outcomes and contribute to the broader goal of reducing the burden of cardiometabolic diseases.
