Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dietary supplements and nutraceuticals currently constitute a significant part of the food market. These products significantly supplement the daily diet with various nutrients, as well as bioactive non-nutrients that positively impact human health. The dietary supplement market is very broad and unregulated in many aspects, especially in the context of their actual health-improving value, effectiveness, and safety.
Important issues related to the effectiveness of dietary supplements concern their bioaccessibility/bioavailability and their actual value in providing nutrients. Safety of use, related to the content of contaminants and their potentially negative impact on health, is also an issue requiring the presentation of the latest research results.
As such, research on this topic to address the biological significance, health relevance, and potential clinical implications of dietary supplements, including both in vitro and animal models, as well as the results of clinical trials, is particularly welcome in this Special Issue.
