Probiotics: A New Concept In Prophylaxis
Abstract: Foods that have health benefits beyond the traditional nutrients possessed by them are called functional foods or nutraceuticals. These are generally characterized as foods similar in appearance to conventional foods, consumed as part of usual diets and elicit health benefits beyond meeting the basic nutritional requirements. Functional foods reduce risk of diseases but they do not act as a vehicle to address deficiency. They are a source of mental and …
