Formulations, Regulations, and Challenges of Nutraceuticals
Formulations, Regulations, and Challenges of Nutraceuticals focuses on various novel micro- and nanocarriers being employed in the formulation and delivery of nutraceutical ingredients to increase their efficacy, bioavailability, safety, and stability. It also highlights the current challenges and future strategies for the development of novel nutraceuticals and functional foods with enhanced health benefits. The focus is on the formulations and regulations. As compared to traditional drugs, there are no minimal regulations on nutraceutical products, which make them more market friendly. Since nutraceutical ingredients have no defined regulations at global level, they are not considered as m...
Applications of Functional Foods in Disease Prevention
Functional food sources are growing in popularity because they are exceptionally nutritious and provide amazing medical advantages. They can help ensure against infection, prevent supplement deficiency, and advance appropriate health development and improvement. With illustrative case studies, this new volume explores the many roles of functional foods in the prevention and management of various diseases, including diabetes, autism spectrum disorder, weight loss and obesity, microbial infections, ulcers and other gastrointestinal diseases, mental disorders and brain health, cardiac health and cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis and bone health, and more.
Food Supplements and Dietary Fiber in Health and Disease
Here is an in-depth and informative introduction to dietary fibers and food supplements, elaborating on their uses and benefits in the prevention and treatment of such health issues and diseases as diabetes, obesity, coronary heart disease, colorectal and other types of cancer, and gut health. The book also discusses the formulation-based approaches for the delivery of food supplements and dietary fibers as well as the use of botanicals in dietary supplements and fibers. The chapter on regulatory guidance of food supplement and dietary fiber discusses the current statutes and regulations addressing dietary ingredients, manufacturing standards, safety, labelling, and claims. The book explains how dietary fibers and food supplements work to maintain gut health, addressing such issues as constipation, loose stools, inflammatory bowel diseases, hiatal hernias, gastroesophageal reflux disease, Barrett’s esophagus, diverticular disease, hemorrhoids, peptic ulcers, gastritis, celiac disease, gallstones, and colon cancer.
Nutraceuticals in Insomnia and Sleep Problems
Sleep is one of the most important and crucial physiological needs for maintaining a healthy life. However, in today’s day and age, insomnia and other sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea, are increasing rapidly. This new book details the nutraceuticals from foods that help to promote good health and optimum sleep. The authors discuss the importance of sleep, the role of diet in sleep, the role of specific vitamins and minerals, amino acids and opioids as nutraceuticals for sleep, newer technologies for use and delivery of nutraceuticals for treating insomnia, and more. The book not only explores nutraceuticals that promote optimum sleep but also details foods that cause insomnia, such as processed, chemical-rich, and refined foods. Chapters also cover commensal and symbiotic microbes, microbial metabolites, and bacteriocins and their impact on sleep. A chapter on the ethical issues related to addiction to nutraceuticals for sleep induction is also included.
Micronutrients and Macronutrients as Nutraceuticals
This new volume explains in detail the properties of micronutrients and macronutrients and their diverse uses as nutraceuticals for their beneficial properties, such as their antioxidant activity and immunity-boosting properties and how they can be incorporated into the human diet for optimum health, for growing beneficial bacteria in the gut, and inhibition of pathogens. Interestingly, the authors look at how disease-promoting habits often unfold in childhood, even prenatally, and employing nutrigenomics early on goes a long way toward curbing these chronic diseases later on in life. With the advent of increasing drug costs and escalating antimicrobial resistance, the pharmacological and antibiotic-like effects of naturally derived nutraceuticals are worth exploring. This volume provides important information toward that goal that will be valuable for researchers, faculty, and graduate students in medical microbiology, pharmacy, chemical engineering, and medical informatics.
Nutraceuticals for the Treatment and Prevention of Sexual Disorders
This unique book covers diverse aspects of sexual dysfunctions and the role of nutraceutical therapeutics, applying both traditional knoweldge and modern evidence-based research. The new book focuses on the use of nutraceuticals on sexual disorders, highlighting the working solutions as well as open problems and future challenges in the use of nutraceuticals in sexual disorder research. Disucssing state-of-the-art developments and trends in this field, the book covers the use of antioxidants in stress-induced male infertility, the role of nutraceuticals in prostate cancer, male sex hormone disturbances, and the impact of nutraceuticals on male accessory organs. The book also addresses the us...
Preventive and Therapeutic Role of Vitamins as Nutraceuticals
This new book provides informative coverage of recent breakthroughs in vitamins and their ability to prevent disease, manage health issues, and treat chronic illness. It describes the beneficial effects of vitamins as nutraceuticals in treating cancer, for improving the immunity of patients with HIV and AIDS, for the treatment of tuberculosis, and for the management of infectious diseases, such as viral infections, microbial infections, and COVID-19. The functional activity of vitamins in brain health and obesity management is also explored for the management, prevention, and delay of hypertension and related problems. The volume also covers vitamins that play a role in neurodegenerative diseases as well as those that can be used for weight loss and obesity, blindness and vision issues, baldness, and skincare issues.
Nutraceuticals in Cancer Prevention, Management, and Treatment
With chapters written by highly skilled and experienced scientists and researchers, this book provides valuable information on specific nutraceuticals that offer benefits in the prevention, management, and treatment of cancer. The volume covers the efficacy, safety, and toxicological aspects of nutraceuticals and addresses various novel drug delivery systems. Key features: Covers the applications and implications of nutraceuticals for cancer prevention and treatment, including prostate cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, skin cancer, colon cancer, liver cancer, cervical cancer Discusses the principles of nanotechnology in the delivery of nutraceuticals for the prevention and treatment of cancer Explores the role of antioxidants, flavonoids, and phytochemicals in cancer prevention
Advances in Flavonoids for Human Health and Prevention of Diseases
In response to the recent upsurge of interest in the therapeutic potential of medicinal plants, with their promising phenolic compounds, this new book offers an important overview of advances in the applications of flavonoids for health. The book explores the nutritional and pharmacological properties of polyphenols and flavonoids, including their ability to prevent the start and development of diseases and how they aid in the management of several chronic pathological illnesses, including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neuro-degenerative illness and aging, pregnancy-induced disorders, and others. Also discussed in depth are the properties, classes, and degrees that formulate a phenolic compound and which subsequently supports the development of drugs/products with health benefits.
Nutrigenomics and Nutraceuticals
This new volume provides an authoritative and comprehensive overview of the field of nutraceuticals and genomics—also called nutrigenomics, a rapidly growing field. It discusses both nutrigenomic and nutrigenetic techniques to investigate the nutritional basis of several health disorders because scientists have found that diet can affect gene expression. The book covers the nutrigenomic tools for the prevention of disease conditions such as cancer, viral infection, microbial infection, COVID-19, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, hypertension, neurodegenerative disease, obesity, baldness, and anemia. Some nutrigenomic tools that can also be used for brain health, weight loss, human nutrition, skin care, and maintaining health during pregnancy are also explored.
