Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dietary supplements are popular and have the potential to enhance health. The world's health is severely impacted by common disorders such as inadequate nutrition and deficits in certain micronutrients. Supplemental nutrition may help those who are susceptible to such shortages fulfil their nutritional needs. Typically, the purpose of food supplements is to augment certain physiological processes or to compensate for nutritional deficiencies. However, different diseases can have their clinical symptoms prevented, delayed, or lessened by natural substances, phytochemicals, vitamins, and minerals. Consequently, the purpose of this Special Issue is to collect new information about the function of dietary supplements in diseases and the manner in which they may influence these disorders through the modulation of important pathways. We invite the submission of original papers on the function of dietary supplements in diseases, as well as narrative, meta-analysis, and systematic reviews for this Special Issue.
Dr. Francesca Uberti
Guest Editor
