The Role of Nutraceuticals in Degenerative Diseases provides a comprehensive overview of the growing role of nutraceuticals in preventing and managing degenerative disorders. As awareness of dietary supplements as supportive therapy increases, this book examines how nutraceuticals can complement conventional treatments in slowing cellular degeneration and improving quality of life.
The book systematically explains the causes, mechanisms, and therapeutic approaches of major degenerative diseases, including respiratory, neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, renal, hepatic, ophthalmic, and metabolic disorders. It covers both foundational concepts of nutraceuticals and disease pathology, along with disease-specific applications supported by mechanistic insights and emerging research. Topics such as in silico identification of nutraceuticals, biomarkers, and prevention strategies are also discussed, offering a balanced view of theory and practice.
