Formulations Regulations And Challenges Of Nutraceuticals

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Formulations, Regulations, and Challenges of Nutraceuticals focuses on various novel micro- and nanocarriers being employed in the formulation and delivery of nutraceutical ingredients to increase their efficacy, bioavailability, safety, and stability. It also highlights the current challenges and future strategies for the development of novel nutraceuticals and functional foods with enhanced health benefits. The focus is on the formulations and regulations. As compared to traditional drugs, there are no minimal regulations on nutraceutical products, which make them more market friendly. Since nutraceutical ingredients have no defined regulations at global level, they are not considered as medicine or therapeutic agents. Some countries have devised their own guidelines for regulating the usage of nutraceuticals, either as pharmaceutical ingredients or as food supplements. This volume addresses the need for common regulatory guidelines with important research on the production of stable and efficient nutraceutical formulations. The numerous regulatory frameworks being employed in Asia and European regulatory agencies in commercialization of nutraceutical products produced by manufacturing companies are discussed. Chapters examine the factors affecting the stability of nutraceuticals in food and gut environments by stressing the results generated from in vitro and in vivo studies and suggests good manufacturing practices to be followed for the development of nutraceuticals. Formulations, Regulations, and Challenges of Nutraceuticals will be valuable for upper-level students, faculty, nutraceutical researchers and practitioners, regulatory agencies, and those involved in the production and development of nutraceutical products.

Pharmaceutical Stability Testing To Support Global Markets

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

The International Conference of Harmonization (ICH) has worked on har- nizing the stability regulations in the US, Europe, and Japan since the early 1990s. Even though the Stability Guidelines Q1A (R2) was issued over a decade ago, issues surrounding this arena continue to surface as the principles described in the guideline are applied to different technical concentrations. As a result, the stability community has continued to discuss concerns and find ways of harmonizing regulatory requirements, streamlining practices, improving processes in order to bring safe and effective medical supplies to the patients around the world. In 2007, the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) Stability Focus Group organized two workshops – the Stability Workshop and the Degradation Mechanism Workshop. These meetings attracted many industry scientists as well as representatives from several regulatory agencies in the world to discuss important topics related to pharmaceutical stability practices. Recognizing the importance of documenting these discussions and with the permission of AAPS, I have worked with speakers to assemble a collection of 30 articles from presentations given at these two meetings, mainly the Stability Workshop. I trust that this book will be beneficial to all of you in providing guidance and up-to-date information for building quality stability programs. v Freedom of our mind is Mother of all inventions.

Flavonoids As Nutraceuticals

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Flavonoids are well-known plant metabolites that have extraordinary properties that can be used for treating health issues. The pharmaceutical importance of flavonoids is due to their anti-depressant, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant capacities. They are also of great importance when it comes to neuroprotection, cardiovascular disorders, and many types of cancer. Flavonoids are also easily available and produce less harmful side effects than some conventional therapeutics. This new volume examines the growing use of flavonoids for prevention and treatment of diseases and discusses their beneficial mechanisms. Chapters in the volume address diverse uses as anti-aging tools, as anti-inflammatory agents, for treating pregnancy-induced disorders, as a promising tool to combat infection of Covid-19, etc. The book explores their specific therapeutic antiviral potentials, the gene expression by flavonoids, and the role of flavonoids in agriculture.

Nutrigenomics And Nutraceuticals

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

This new volume provides an authoritative and comprehensive overview of the field of nutraceuticals and genomics—also called nutrigenomics, a rapidly growing field. It discusses both nutrigenomic and nutrigenetic techniques to investigate the nutritional basis of several health disorders because scientists have found that diet can affect gene expression. The book covers the nutrigenomic tools for the prevention of disease conditions such as cancer, viral infection, microbial infection, COVID-19, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, hypertension, neurodegenerative disease, obesity, baldness, and anemia. Some nutrigenomic tools that can also be used for brain health, weight loss, human nutrition, skin care, and maintaining health during pregnancy are also explored.

Micronutrients And Macronutrients As Nutraceuticals

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

This new volume explains in detail the properties of micronutrients and macronutrients and their diverse uses as nutraceuticals for their beneficial properties, such as their antioxidant activity and immunity-boosting properties and how they can be incorporated into the human diet for optimum health, for growing beneficial bacteria in the gut, and inhibition of pathogens. Interestingly, the authors look at how disease-promoting habits often unfold in childhood, even prenatally, and employing nutrigenomics early on goes a long way toward curbing these chronic diseases later on in life. With the advent of increasing drug costs and escalating antimicrobial resistance, the pharmacological and antibiotic-like effects of naturally derived nutraceuticals are worth exploring. This volume provides important information toward that goal that will be valuable for researchers, faculty, and graduate students in medical microbiology, pharmacy, chemical engineering, and medical informatics.
