Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the section collection “Nutrition and Nutraceuticals”.

In today's fast-paced world, nutrition and nutraceuticals have gained significant attention as people prioritise their health. Nutrition is essential for overall well-being, providing necessary nutrients for bodily functions. A balanced diet with proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals supports growth, bodily functions, and the immune system. Nutraceuticals, derived from food or synthesised, go beyond basic nutrition to offer additional health benefits. They include dietary supplements, functional foods, and fortified products that promote cardiovascular health, immune function, and cognitive performance. The synergy between nutrition and nutraceuticals opens new possibilities for optimising health outcomes. Researchers aim to personalise nutrition recommendations by understanding the intricate relationship between nutrients, genetics, and individual responses. Precision nutrition tailors dietary strategies to an individual's genetic profile and metabolic needs, leading to better health outcomes and disease prevention. Nutraceuticals offer safe and natural approaches to improving health. Bioactive compounds like omega-3 fatty acids, postbiotics, antioxidants, and herbal extracts positively influence biological pathways and overall well-being.

Continued research and scientific advancements are vital as nutrition and nutraceutical fields evolve. Rigorous studies explore new bioactive compounds, unravel their mechanisms of action, and validate their health benefits. This knowledge deepens our understanding of nutrient-gene interplay, paving the way for evidence-based approaches to enhance health and wellness. To make optimal dietary choices, individuals should prioritise health and seek advice from healthcare professionals and reliable sources. By embracing nutrition and nutraceuticals, we embark on a journey towards a healthier and more vibrant life. Let's explore this realm, harness their potential, and make informed choices to live our best lives.

We look forward to receiving your contributes.
