| book description |

Phytochemicals and Gut Health: Evidence and Opportunities for Gastrointestinal Management delves into the pivotal role of plant-derived compounds in supporting and enhancing gastrointestinal health. By examining how bioactive phytochemicals impact the gut-brain axis, the book provides a comprehensive overview of their sources, production, and mechanisms of action. Readers are introduced to clinical applications where these compounds offer promising avenues for improving GI disorders. The book's authors emphasize how targeted use of phytochemicals may overcome limitations and side effects commonly associated with standard medical treatments, presenting a forward-thinking perspective on nutritional interventions for gastrointestinal well-being. In addition, the book explores the broader health benefits of phytochemicals, including their positive effects on cardiovascular and neurological systems. It discusses various classes such as phenolic metabolites, alkaloids, terpenoids, and glucosinolates, and examines their synergistic effects. Additionally, the text highlights the gut-nutraceutical axis, detailing how plant-based compounds can modulate the microbiota to address a range of GI disorders.
