Dear Readers
I’m taking a break this week from writing my Science of Detox series and instead I have a research paper about nutraceuticals to show you. Nutraceuticals are simply nutrients which researchers have shown to combat diseases or promote good health. They are not necessarily vitamins and minerals. There are literally thousands of phytonutrients—plant components that play a role in health. You can see the first page of the research paper below. The paper goes on to look at a whole host of chronic diseases from Alzheimer’s to Parkinsonism. It summarizes the nutraceuticals which researchers have studied in relation to these diseases, often with surprisingly positive results.
