A Brief Overview of Nutrient Anti-Inflammatory Molecules and their In Vitro and In Vivo Activity
Journal Title: Journal of Nutritional Medicine and Diet Care - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Anti-inflammatory nutrients are components of normal dietary intake with reported anti-inflammatory properties. In comparison to traditional pharmacological anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-inflammatory nutrients may have lower side effects. However, one limitation of anti-inflammatory nutrients is their inefficiency compared to current pharmacological anti-inflammatory drugs, as higher nutrient concentrations may be required to provide similar pharmacological effect. A large range of anti-inflammatory nutrients are currently under investigation for their therapeutic use and efficacy: these include amino acids, fats, vitamins and flavonoids. This review provides a brief overall perspective of the existing literature on anti-inflammatory nutrients and their proposed mechanisms of action.
