Vitamins as Nutraceuticals The book examines the development of nutraceutical products featuring maximizing the vitamin benefits to human health and various health conditions. Since vitamins are widely predicted to be one of the most significant nutritional advancements over the next 25 years, the editors of this book have brought together renowned experts in the field to provide a single authoritative resource for the nutraceutical sector. It is being published at a time when there is a pressing need to address the rising number of cases of nutritional deficiency disorders and the high number of deaths caused by a lack of knowledge or a deviation from healthy eating habits. The book contains 12 chapters and begins by defining and classifying the field of vitamins, with a focus on legislative issues in both the United States and the European Union. In addition to discussing recent advances and applications, this book also includes scientific information on the importance of vitamins as nutraceuticals to human health, as well as the potential mechanisms of nutraceuticals in illness prevention, management, and control. The focus is on vitamins as nutraceuticals for health conditions such as human nutrition, pregnancy, oral health, anemia, and blindness. The book also explores the structure and function of various vitamins and covers the impact of various vitamins on immunity and the nutraceutical properties of seaweed vitamins and marine-derived sources of nutritional vitamins. The beneficial effects of water-soluble vitamins in nutrition, health promotion, and nutraceutical potential of fat-soluble vitamins, are also discussed. Audience The book will be read by a range of researchers and industry scientists such as vitamin formulators, food scientists and food manufacturers, as well as those in the pharmaceutical industry, nanotech industry, novel drug delivery research laboratories, and the health sector.

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.

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.

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.
