Significance of Bioactive component
In Ayurveda, Science, and Health Sciences, a bioactive component is a substance within a plant or other source that elicits a biological effect. These components, such as those found in medicinal plants, saliva, or fruit peels, are often natural compounds with the potential to influence biological processes and promote health. They are responsible for therapeutic effects, health benefits, and medicinal properties, making them valuable in various applications.
