Description
Since vitamins are widely predicted to be one of the most significant nutritional advancements over the next 25 years, the editors of this book have brought together renowned experts in the field to provide a single authoritative resource for the nutraceutical sector. It is being published at a time when there is a pressing need to address the rising number of cases of nutritional deficiency disorders and the high number of deaths caused by a lack of knowledge or a deviation from healthy eating habits.
The book contains 12 chapters and begins by defining and classifying the field of vitamins, with a focus on legislative issues in both the United States and the European Union. In addition to discussing recent advances and applications, this book also includes scientific information on the importance of vitamins as nutraceuticals to human health, as well as the potential mechanisms of nutraceuticals in illness prevention, management, and control. The focus is on vitamins as nutraceuticals for health conditions such as human nutrition, pregnancy, oral health, anemia, and blindness. The book also explores the structure and function of various vitamins and covers the impact of various vitamins on immunity and the nutraceutical properties of seaweed vitamins and marine-derived sources of nutritional vitamins. The beneficial effects of water-soluble vitamins in nutrition, health promotion, and nutraceutical potential of fat-soluble vitamins, are also discussed.
