Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The prevalence of dietary supplement is increased in the world. The primary purpose of dietary supplements is the provide nutrients, such as vitamin and mineral, to maintain health. However, the functional ingredients in food, especially polyphenols, have attracted attention in recent decades, and these ingredients have beneficial effects on human health. On the other hand, a lot of ingredients with poor evidence as to their effects have also been marketed as dietary supplements, and adverse events associated with dietary supplement use have been reported. It is important to choose dietary supplements whose efficacy and safety for our health have been studied. In this regard, you are invited to submit proposals for manuscripts that fit the objectives and the topics of this Special Issue.
The objective of this proposed Special Issue on “Dietary Supplements and Human Health” is to publish selected papers detailing specific aspects of dietary supplement that could play a role in human health. Particularly, papers (reviews and/or clinical or experimental studies) dealing with the role of specific nutrients and non-nutritional ingredients in food as dietary supplements will be included.
