Nutraceuticals are food or component of food that do not only promote health but also help in recovering and combating health disorders. Algae are microorganisms that are used as supplements used in treating health disorders. They are rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidant pigments, and other micronutrients. These algae are gaining importance as functional components in the green synthesis of metal nanoparticles and applications in fabrics incorporated antimicrobial agents and pharmaceuticals. The present review focus on the distinctive algal components that are beneficial in biomedical applications. It also focuses on the research techniques to enrich the macronutrients and micronutrients by altering growth conditions and susceptible nutritional factors. A diagram model for a systematic review is utilized for this search. The research is conducted through the following databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Science Direct. Results: Here in this review, current reviewers put forward the importance of microalgae and other algae as alternative marine nutrient sources of dietary supplements for human consumption. In this context, extrinsic and intrinsic environmental parameter manipulative studies by eminent research groups to enhance the nutrient composition of these marine creatures are focused on in this study. Some costeffective approach-based techniques for industrial output have also been manifested. The role of algae as bio-inspired material for the production of biosynthetic metal nanoparticles, water-soluble polymers, bioplastic, antimicrobials, antifouling agents has been incurred as research interests in the past decades. In spite of being so impressive as nutraceuticals and bio-inspired material components, research gaps still exist. The purpose of the manuscript is to cover such gaps and show a new paradigm of biomedical applications.
营养保健品不仅能促进健康，还有助于恢复和防治健康障碍，是食品或食品的组成部分。藻类是被用作治疗健康障碍的补充剂的微生物。它们富含必需脂肪酸、抗氧化色素和其他微量营养素。这些藻类作为功能成分在金属纳米粒子的绿色合成和含有抗菌剂和药物的织物中的应用中变得越来越重要。本综述重点介绍了在生物医学应用中有益的独特藻类成分。它还侧重于通过改变生长条件和易受营养因素影响来丰富宏量和微量营养素的研究技术。为此搜索利用了一个系统综述的图表模型。研究通过以下数据库进行：PubMed、Web of Science、Scopus 和 Science Direct。结果：在本综述中，当前的评论员提出了微藻和其他藻类作为人类食用的膳食补充剂替代海洋营养源的重要性。在这方面，本研究重点关注知名研究小组通过外在和内在环境参数操纵研究来提高这些海洋生物的营养成分。还展示了一些基于成本效益的工业产出技术。藻类作为生物启发材料在生产生物合成金属纳米粒子、水溶性聚合物、生物塑料、抗菌剂、防污剂方面的作用在过去几十年中一直是研究热点。尽管作为营养保健品和生物启发材料成分令人印象深刻，但仍存在研究空白。本文的目的是填补这些空白，并展示生物医学应用的新范例。
