They are officially categorized as non-nutrients and unlike vitamins are not considered essential due to the fact that no known nutritional deficiencies occur without intake. Even though phytonutrients are considered nonessential, there are several means by which they are believed to protect human health. These mechanisms include serving as antioxidants; enhancing immune system function; enhancing cell-to-cell communication; altering hormonal balance (such as estrogen metabolism); converting beta-carotene into vitamin A; eradicating cancer cells; and repairing DNA damage caused by smoking or other toxic exposure.

The numerous types of phytonutrients can be divided into different classes. Current and Upcoming Research. The Human Performance Lab at the NC Research Campus, operated by Appalachian State University, currently has 3 human trials underway.

Scientists discover sustainable chemical extraction from citrus peel for cosmetics use

In research described at the 16th annual Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference, the researchers said they have developed a sustainable way to extract and find uses for virtually every bit of the 15.6 million tons of orange and other citrus peel discarded worldwide every year. The scientists say those uses could include biosolvents, fragrances and water purification, and that it could revolutionise what has been an unattractive process in the past. The new process developed by Clark, Lucie Pfaltzgraff and colleagues sees the orange peels exposed to high-intensity microwaves at low temperatures that transform many components of the orange peel into liquid that can be later collected and from which useful products are obtained. Green chemistry "We're aiming to create a zero-waste biorefinery," Clark said. If today was your last day: Significance of plant extracts in the global market.

From 2002 to 2007, Dr. Anti-aging: Laboratories target glycation. Glycation is still drawing a lot of attention because the phenomenon observed on the skin is one of the reasons for skin aging. And staying young, we all know is a quest that seems eternal. The Laboratoires Jeanne Piaubert were among the first to have made an anti glycation claim, with in1996 the launch of the Certitude range. Since then, many players in cosmetics have invested this niche: Chanel, Clarins, Pola, La Roche-Posay and many more. And more are coming... “It’s a theme that reappears in a periodic manner every 3-4 years and on which we are constantly working to offer our customers the latest advances on this issue” agrees Anne Laurie Rodrigues, Communication Manager for BASF Beauty Care Solutions, who has just put on the market the new active Collguard.
