Abstract
Potential health benefits and their scientific evidence have been described in india, and to name a few include: calcium, probiotics, whey proteins and whey peptides, from dairy products; n-3 fatty acids, from fish; conjugated linoleic acid, from some meat; sphingolipids, Lutein and Zeaxanthin from eggs; and, the conditionally-essential nutrients L-carnitine, coenzyme Q10, - lipoic acid, choline and taurine, widely diffused in animal products. There are scientific evidences of functional foods which support the observation that functional foods from animal sources enhance human health. This over-view will lucidly place the status of functional foods in the present context in India.
