Nutraceuticals’ Role in Promoting Human Health and Well-Being: An Evidence-Based Perspective

Dear Colleagues,

Nutraceuticals are gaining increasing recognition for their significant contributions to human health and well-being. Their bioactive compounds, derived from natural sources, offer promising applications in disease prevention, chronic condition management, and overall wellness enhancement. Within the frameworks of evidence-based medicine, nutraceuticals present an opportunity to complement conventional therapies with targeted interventions.

Scientific exploration has described the mechanisms through which nutraceuticals exert their effects, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory activities. Clinical trials and mechanistic studies underscore their potential to enhance therapeutic outcomes across diverse health conditions, from metabolic and cardiovascular diseases to mental health disorders and age-related decline.

This Special Issue invites original research, literature reviews, and meta-analyses that deepen our understanding of nutraceuticals in promoting health and well-being. Topics of interest include clinical evaluations of efficacy, mechanistic insights, and applications in precision nutrition, clinical prevention, and chronic disease management. Studies on safety, regulatory frameworks, and synergistic effects within integrative medicine are also encouraged.
