The focus of this review is on illuminating the anticancer attributes found in a variety of nutraceuticals, such as polyphenols, flavonoids, carotenoids, and other bioactive compounds. Due to their nutritional value and therapeutic potential against malignant cells, several nutraceuticals have recently attracted a lot of fascination. These bioactive compounds are capable of killing cancerous cells without damaging normal cells. In conclusion, this review sheds light on the emerging insights into nutraceuticals' anticancer properties and their potential as valuable components of integrative cancer therapy. Although significant progress has been made, further investigation is warranted to fully harness the therapeutic potential of these natural compounds and enhance their clinical application in the fight against cancer.
