Effects of Nutraceuticals on Intestinal Inflammation

Dear Colleagues,

Nutraceuticals include a wide range of foods or food components such as isolated nutrients, herbal products, dietary supplements, novel foods, and processed food ingredients that provide medical or health benefits. They include several biological properties such as antioxidant, antihypertensive, antiproliferative, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory. Although, several research endeavors have been undertaken to understand their effects on the prevention and treatment of inflammation-mediated gastrointestinal diseases, their effectiveness, safety, side effects, and interactions with other nutrients or medications are not yet known. Thus, further research is required to expand our understanding about the possible usage of nutraceuticals as a novel approach against intestinal inflammation.

This Special Issue titled ‘Effects of Nutraceuticals on Intestinal Inflammation’ aims to collate papers that highlight the latest findings on the effects of different nutraceuticals for the prevention and management of intestinal inflammation, including conditions such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and others. We invite submissions of relevant review articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, as well as original papers.
