The Protective Effects of Botanical Dietary Supplements on Neurological Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

Botanical dietary supplements (BDSs) are a subset of botanical products containing one or more dietary ingredients (including vitamins, minerals, herbs or other botanicals, amino acids, dietary fiber or other substances) or their constituents that are used to maintain or improve health. BDSs are growing popularly for the prevention and modification of vascular, inflammatory and degenerative diseases. Therefore, the effective utilization and accurate evaluation of BDSs are key to making use of them as health-promotion factors.

Mental, neurological and substance-use disorders presently represent the greatest burden of disease globally. Nutritional support is already an integral part of disease prevention and treatment in hospital. The aim of this Special Issue is to attract original research and review articles focusing on the beneficial effects of BDSs on neurological diseases including Parkinson’s disease, insomnia, stroke, depression, migraine, dementia, addiction, etc.
