The supplement market continues to grow annually with more than
half of the population using these products for reasons spanning
from health maintenance to disease prevention and/or treatment.
Dietary Supplements in Health Promotion presents clear and concise
evidence on how dietary supplements may contribute to maintaining
health status. The book provides information on personalized
nutrition, nutrient gaps, and postulated benefits of various
mainstream dietary supplements such as multivitamins, probiotics,
and flavonoids, among others. The book summarizes evidence to date
so that health professionals may adequately assess the risks and
benefits of popular dietary supplements and dispels some of the
less scientifically substantiated hypotheses and claims behind the
use of certain supplements. It distills volumes of clinical
research, nicely summarizes population based studies, and offers
explanation of the biological plausibility regarding effects of
these products in maintaining optimal health status With so many
opinions and misinformation on the risks and benfits of using
dietary supplements, an authoritative book is necessary to advance
the accurate knowledge and dissemination of research relating to
the many effects of prescribing or utilizing dietary supplements. A
balanced review of popular dietary supplement products and their
effects on human health, this book gives you practical advice on
the appropriate use of dietary supplements, including clinical
guidelines on recommendations of supplements, and just as
important, when to discourage use of supplements.
Anthocyanins, polyphenolic compounds abundant in certain foods, are
responsible for the orange-red to blue-violet hues evident in many
fruits, vegetables, cereal grains, and flowers. Interest in these
pigments has intensified due to their potential health-promoting
properties as dietary antioxidants, as well as their use as natural
dyes in a variety of products. Mechanistic studies from in vitro
experiments as well as in vivo clinical trials demonstrate
wide-ranging efficacy and biological activity of anthocyanins.
Anthocyanins in Health and Disease presents the first comprehensive
review of modern-day research on the relationship of anthocyanins
to human health and disease. Written by an interdisciplinary group
of distinguished scientists, this book examines the
bioavailability, chemistry, metabolism, and efficacy of
anthocyanins, as well as their role in protecting the body from
several age- and obesity-related chronic diseases. Chapters cover
the absorption, digestion, metabolism, and excretion of
anthocyanins; current methodology for the assessment of
anthocyanins in the blood, plasma, urine, and tissues; and
anthocyanins as potent antioxidants. The book discusses
health-related topics such as anthocyanins and protection against
disease, including cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome,
type-2 diabetes, and cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. It also
addresses health-promoting effects of anthocyanins, namely,
maintenance of normal vision and prevention of ocular pathologies,
protective effects against skin aging, and their role in innate
immunity and exercise. Covering a wide array of specialized
knowledge, this book provides an authoritative source of
information on the role of anthocyanins in health and disease, an
important step toward advancing research and enhancing
communication on these functional ingredients.

trials demonstrate wide-ranging efficacy and biological activity of
anthocyanins. Anthocyanins in Health and Disease presents the first

Contrary to the common belief that dietary supplements are
unregulated in the United States, nutrients and other dietary
ingredient-containing products have been regulated in this country
for a little over a century at least in some capacity, initially
through the Pure Food and Drug Act (PFDA) of 1906 and culminating
with the many anticipated regulations to be implemented following
the recent enactment of the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010
(FSMA). The goal of this brief is to review and discuss the current
statutes and regulations surrounding the ingredients, manufacturing
standards, safety, and labeling of dietary supplements for the
purpose of protecting consumers. "
