Reihe: Nutraceuticals

This book focuses on the role of nutraceuticals in human health, disease prevention, health promotion, and as an adjunct to disease treatment. This epidemiological focus is very crucial because it will address whether, and what kinds of, evidence exist to support a role for nutraceuticals in disease prevention and treatment. Cutting-edge summaries highlight both the biological and epidemiological findings of relevant studies of nutraceuticals in health and disease.
