Abstract: Background: Several health problems, especially musculoskeletal disorders, are caused
by differences in work cultures and human lifestyles around the world. While the conventional approach
to treating such conditions emphasizes a balanced work-life and daily exercise, nutraceuticals
have proven to be successful. Nutraceuticals are dietary compounds that help sustain cartilage
metabolism homeostasis, reducing articular pain. Dietary intake of a variety of nutraceuticals is
thought to be essential for controlling and, more specifically, preventing osteoarthritis and osteoporosis.
Objective: The current article offers a succinct overview in which data was gathered and searched
using specific key terms related to nutraceuticals, osteoarthritis, and osteoporosis that were available
in public domains for analysis and evaluation.
Methods: The current write-up offers a concise summary of disease and its relevance as to how
nutraceuticals are helpful, based on the defined findings and their interpretation. The present review
also discusses the existing literature, patents, and current studies in the era of nutraceuticals
for osteoarthritis and osteoporosis treatment, offering a rational basis for further investigation and
research.
Result: This article discusses a wide variety of nutraceuticals with possible uses for osteoarthritis
and osteoporosis patients. An analysis revealed that nutraceuticals' efficacy has been established.
However, further study and investigation are needed to determine their protection.
Conclusion: As a result of this analysis, it was concluded that more innovation and technology
transfer were required. It was also concluded that greater industry-academic collaboration was required
to begin more effective research in the treatment of osteoarthritis and osteoporosis with
nutraceuticals.
