Foreword. Shortly after I received Dr. Pathak’s kind invitation to contribute to this timely publication, my dormant nutraceutical ethers quickly returned. Let’s start with the defi nition: “A nutraceutical is a food or parts of a food that have a health benefi t including the prevention and treatment of disease.” A bona fi de nutraceutical has been shown to have some type of clinical benefi t. Most of the others are potential ones. Unfortunately, the nutraceutical movement has not been as vigorous as it deserves to be. Books on nutraceuticals, such as this, are urgently needed to keep the fl ames fl ickering. The chapters in this book, authored by international experts, cover a broad, promising range of medical-health topics, ranging from cardiovascular therapeutics to mental health to inexorable aging. The scope of nutraceuticals is as broad as that of pharmaceuticals but still lacks serious consideration from critical segments of the health industry. And searching through the labyrinth of reasons behind this neglect, the principal one is unequivocally attributable to a lack of proper economic incentives. Vibrant nutraceutical basic and applied laboratory and clinical research are intimately intertwined and dependent on an appropriately structured marketplace, very much unlike our current misinformation-driven one. For example, as a result of massive marketing-driven misinformation, Americans now blindly believe that all antioxidants are good for you. The reality is that some antioxidants are good, some are not, and some may harm you, depending on how much and when you take them. Oxidants aren’t all bad and are critical, for example, to fi ght infections. The foundation and growth of a truly health-oriented nutraceutical marketplace are based on two major factors: the freedom of a company to make a medical health claim and the availability of suffi ciently strong proprietary products to justify corporate basic and clinical research and development investment to make money. It is as simple and unromantic as that! At the Foundation for Innovation in Medicine conferences, I, in addition to addressing the resolution of the medical-health claims issue, emphatically and repeatedly stressed that the rational choice of ingredients coupled with proprietary nutraceutical formulations were essential for the successful establishment of a research-intensive nutraceutical health sector. It would be, although very complicated to understand, almost equivalent to the protection given by pharmaceutical product patents. We are fundamentally talking about optimum ways to deliver ingredients that are both water soluble and fat soluble and that effectively arrive at intended receptor sites in a way that is acceptable to the gastrointestinal track. Ironically, and I say this with smiling admiration, the contributors to this book do not realize the magnitude of the importance of their research efforts to bring about the next phase of the “nutraceutical revolution.” Hopefully, this book will inspire their colleagues to aggressively pursue much needed ingredient formulation research.
