Abstract

Nutraceuticals are potentially healthful foods that play a role in maintaining human wellbeing, enhancing health and preventing, or even treating, specific diseases. More than forany other diseases, cardiovascular diseases occur in association with risk factors that areamenable to prevention or treatment by nutraceutical interventions. Several ingredientsmarketed for use in dietary supplements address such risk factors. The ability of nutraceu-ticals to favorably influence cardiovascular risk factors and atherosclerotic vascular diseaseshould be recognized as an enormous opportunity for the prevention or treatment of thiscommon condition. In this review, we attempt at summarizing some of the recent researchfindings on ? -3-polyunsaturated fatty acids and antioxidant polyphenols that have bene-ficial cardiovascular effects to update the practicing clinicians on the potential benefits ofnutraceuticals in this area
