Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the launch of a Special Issue focusing on the role of dietary supplements in neurodegenerative diseases, with an emphasis on nutritional assessment and their potential therapeutic impact. As neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and other cognitive disorders continue to rise globally, there is an urgent need to explore how nutritional interventions and dietary supplements can influence disease progression, cognitive health, and patient outcomes.
This Special Issue welcomes original research articles, reviews, and clinical studies exploring:
- The mechanistic roles of dietary supplements in neuroprotection.
- Nutritional biomarkers and assessment tools in neurodegenerative diseases.
- The impact of polyphenols, vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, probiotics, and other bioactive compounds on cognitive decline.
- Clinical and preclinical studies evaluating nutritional strategies for neurodegenerative disease management.
- Gut–brain axis interactions and the influence of diet on neuroinflammation and brain ageing.
We invite researchers, clinicians, and nutrition scientists to contribute their work to this Special Issue and share cutting-edge insights into the role of dietary supplementation in brain health.
Submission Deadline: October 2025

We look forward to your valuable contributions!
Dr. Binosha Fernando
