This new book, Nutraceuticals in Obesity Management and Control, provides detailed information on nutraceuticals that can be helpful in the control and management of obesity. It clarifies key aspects of nutraceuticals that include sources, extraction, chemistry, mechanisms of action, pharmacology, bioavailability, safety, and various applications.

The volume begins with a concise overview of the prevalence of obesity, complications related obesity, and current treatment regimens. The volume weighs the significance of functional foods and nutraceuticals for the management of bodyweight and for alleviating obesity comorbidities. It goes on to discuss the effect of some of the most commonly and frequently used naturally occurring nutraceutical substances, along with their mechanisms of action in controlling obesity. The volume looks at the role of nutraceutical fruits as well as the beneficial aspects of carotenoids in fruits and vegetables. The book also explores antioxidant-rich nutraceuticals, the role of vitamins and supplements, the use of green tea, and the potential of pseudocereals and spices in the management of metabolic syndrome. Chapters also examine the importance of micronutrients and the mechanisms of action of polyphenols in weight management and health. The volume also details the marine nutritional sources that can be used in the management of obesity.

Laying a solid foundation for examining the effectiveness and validity of various plant-derived nutraceuticals, which can be used as crucial therapeutic tools in the prevention of chronic and degenerative diseases, this book will prove especially useful for researchers, industry professionals, and faculty and advanced students in nutrition, medicine/healthcare, microbiology, pharmacy, plant science, and food science.
