Nutraceuticals and Human Health and Disease

Dear Colleagues,

To date, nutraceutical supplementation has been considered a viable approach for prophylaxis and the treatment of many pathologies, although several pathophysiological implications for their use still remain unclear.

This Special Issue aims to collect original articles as well as review articles that share information on the molecular mechanisms and new targets of known or novel natural compounds, in order to broaden knowledge on preventing and reducing the risk and progression of diseases associated with metabolic imbalance, oxidative stress and inflammation. The present Special Issue aims to raise the awareness of the scientific community about the potential of nutraceuticals and the physiological, pharmacological and toxicological ramifications thereof.
