Several nutraceuticals have been identified. S-adenosyl methionine (SAM-e), silymarin, omega-3 essential fatty acids, glucosamine (GLM), prebiotics and probiotics,superoxide dismutase (SOD), Glutathione, bioflavonoids, Dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO),methyl-sulfonyl-methane (MSM), Polysulfated Glycosaminoglycan (GAGPS), vitamin E, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), cholesterol reducers, plant extract/essential oils and vitamin like compounds are some of the predominant nutraceuticals. SAM converts methionine to cysteine and maintains glutathione concentrations. It prevents apoptosis, modulates cytokine expression, decrease lipid accumulation, fibrosis and hepatocellular damage. Silymarin acts as anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic. Omega-3 essential fatty acids are considered to be anti-inflammatory. Prebiotics and probiotics improve host intestinal micro-flora. GLM and GAGPS have chondroprotective action. Free radical scavengers such as SOD, bioflavonoids, glutathione and Dimethylsuphoxide (DMSO) were found to effectively quench the oxygen-derived species (superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radical). Vitamin E acts as chain blocker of lipid peroxidation. CLA is an anti-carcinogenic, and anti-athirogenic. Plant extracts such as garlic oil, methanol, organo essential oil etc. have been used attributed to their antimicrobial property. Despite of several advantages they do have limitations.
