Well-being is received increased attention from people, researchers, and physicians. The main goal is to prevent the onset of pathologic health issues instead of using conventional pharmacological approaches unless absolutely necessary. Prevention and well-being are closely linked to the wrong lifestyle and dietary habits, which can determine the onset of illness. Some health conditions can be prevented and treated with the use of nutraceuticals in daily diet. Nutraceuticals are pharmacologically active substances that can be extracted from vegetable or animal products, and concentrated and administered in a suitable pharmaceutical form. A nutraceutical can provide beneficial health effects, e.g., the prevention and/or, in some cases, the treatment of disease. The key aspect is defining the range of possible uses for these new food-drugs and substantiation with in vitro and in vivo clinical data that support their efficacy, safety, and health benefits. This Special Issue is dedicated to assessing the sources, composition, formulation, use, experience in clinical use, mechanisms of action, and clinical data of nutraceuticals, which represent a new horizon for therapy and provide valuable tools to reduce the cost of the healthcare system, addressing resources for prevention rather than pharmacological therapy.

The purpose of this book is to provide an overview of dietary supplements including their definition according to the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, how they are manufactured and regulated, what forms they are sold in, and what the most popular products are. In discussing the most popular products people use, an effort is made to provide information on the background or origin of each ingredient. In addition, the potential mechanism of action and the clinical evidence that may exist demonstrating the efficacy or lack thereof is reviewed. This book is important given the fact that the sale and use of dietary supplements is a controversial issue. The media frequently broadcasts negative stories about the dietary supplement industry and its products and elicit the testimonies of individuals without expertise in the industry, or the science behind dietary supplements. Furthermore, the supplement industry is rife with unscrupulous fly-by-night companies that make false and misleading claims about their products, further damaging the perception of the industry. If that were all there was to the story, there would be no need for this book. On the contrary, epidemiological data demonstrates that the proper use of dietary supplements could save thousands of lives and billions of dollars in health care costs. This book is an attempt to contribute an objective perspective on the matter.
