Environmental Challenges and Medicinal Plants

Abstract

Elevated growth in the therapeutic market of phytopharmaceuticals and herbal supplements was observed in the last few years. The rise in the herbal market has also attracted researchers, pharmaceutical companies, and regulatory bodies to focus on TEA. It influences all body functions in minute amounts for proper physiological function and development. Excess and deficiency of the essential trace elements (TE) resulted in several nutritional disorders and diseases. The development of cutting-edge technologies with potential advantages like high-throughput measurement, minimum test sample, and easier operational steps boosted and solved several analytical challenges of the essential TE. This book chapter listed out analytical approaches of TE with their regulatory landscape.
