The Handbook of Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods presents an up-to-date review of this growing field of nutrition. It covers the history of nutraceuticals, their connection to preventing diseases, and marketing issues. Well researched, it provides an easy-to-follow delineation of interorgan and intracellular activities and provides figures that illustrate the molecular structure and design as well as metabolic pathways,presenting an in-depth guide to nearly 200 nutraceutical compounds.
