Introduces readers to the growing applications of nutraceuticals and other natural product derivatives
This
comprehensive book presents a prophylactic and therapeutic approach to
chronic disease prevention strategy by highlighting the translational
potential of plant-derived dietary and non-dietary factors from
epidemiological, laboratory, and clinical studies. It also shares the
experiences of highly reputed experts working in the area of
phytomedicine and nutraceutical agents in chemoprevention, to promote
the significance of natural products and dietary factors as an elite
priority for containing chronic diseases in the human population.
Nutraceuticals and Natural Product Derivatives: Disease Prevention & Drug Discovery
