Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Natural products such as polyphenolic, prebiotics, probiotics, polysaccharides, etc. have brought about a promising future for chronic diseases, with studies confirming that these natural-derived components play roles in diverse chronic disorders and diseases, including gastrointestinal diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, coronary atherosclerosis, obesity, diabetes, and so on. Continuous efforts are in need to uncover more components, understand their dose–effect relationship, and elucidate their health beneficial mechanism. This Special Issue focuses on the interaction between natural functional factors and their beneficial effects on chronic diseases, especially their dose–effect relationship and mechanism. Reviews and research articles are both warmly welcomed.
