Description

Phytochemicals and Gut Health: Evidence and Opportunities for Gastrointestinal Management highlights specific plant phytochemicals, their bioactive compounds, and the influence they have on the gut-brain axis. By exploring sources, production, mechanisms of action, and clinical applications, the book uncovers how certain bioactives can optimize health and improve gastrointestinal diseases while reducing the side effects and limited efficacy of current medical treatments. The book's authors identify different classes of plant-based phytochemicals such as phenolic metabolites, alkaloids, terpenoids, and glucosinolates while demonstrating a better understanding of the gut-nutraceutical axis that can improve microbiota for GI disorders, and more. Readers will also gain important perspectives on mechanisms of action and the synergistic effects phytochemicals have on cardiovascular and neurological health.- Explores phytochemicals as a therapeutic approach to gut health- Highlights the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits of phytochemicals to regulate gut microbiome and manage gastrointestinal disorders- Discusses sources, production, mechanisms of action and clinical applications of phytochemicals in gastrointestinal therapy- Identifies a nanoparticle-based delivery systems for managing gut related disorders with phytochemicals
