Algae contain an abundance of bioactive compounds, and from the 19<sup>th</sup> century algae have been consumed by human beings. The <i>Rhodophyceae </i>is class of red algae in the division <i>Rhodophyta</i>, which has the highest number of bioactive molecules i.e., 53% of total algal species and ~1600+ unique bio-actives. This algal bioactive has a very unique property that it can act as a nutraceutical, providing health benefits to humans, including disease prevention by maintaining the healthy condition. The nutraceutical market is growing rapidly, in 2021 predicted to have and industrial valuation of 454.55 billion and an annual growth rate of 9% until 2030. Healthy food composed of nutritional value with phytochemical properties combinedly used as nutraceuticals which can consume as daily food, food supplements and dietary food. Nutraceutical's property leads to proactive medicines which is an empirical method of disease prevention. In this paper the proactive medicinal approach of nutraceuticals is discussed with extracted bioactive molecules from red algal species. several novel extraction methods are also discussed.
