Nutraceuticals and Chronic Disease

Dear Colleagues,

We are organizing a Special Issue to summarize the evidence, potential mechanisms, and implications for nutraceuticals in the prevention and management of chronic diseases.

Chronic diseases, such as heart disease, obesity, diabetes, arthritis, cancer, and neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, are becoming the leading causes of death and disability in many countries. The term “nutraceuticals” combines the terms “nutrient” and “pharmaceutical”, and they are generally obtained from food and dietary sources serving as potentially useful adjuncts in the prevention and management of chronic diseases which may also offset negative side effects. There is abundant evidence to clarify the health benefits of nutraceuticals including plant-based components, nutrients, prebiotics, and vitamins.

In this Special Issue of Nutrients, we welcome original research articles, animal, and clinical studies, as well as review articles on the current state of research.
