Micronutrients in Health and Disease, Second Edition

Micronutrients in Health and Disease, Second Edition (2nd Edition) is a reference text by Kedar N. Prasad, published by CRC Press in 2019. It examines the pathogenic roles of oxidative stress from free radical overproduction, chronic inflammation, and elevated glutamate release across chronic illnesses.

The volume outlines an approach that pairs dietary and lifestyle modifications with a targeted micronutrient mixture to complement standard medical care. This strategy seeks to lower chronic disease risk by concurrently raising antioxidant enzyme activity and antioxidant compounds.

For the 2019 edition, the work incorporates three chapters covering Huntington's disease, autism spectrum disorder, and prion disease, serving as a guide for healthy aging and chronic disease management.
