Book excerpt: Cardiovascular diseases and their associated risk conditions including dyslipidemia, hypertension and diabetes are one of the main health issues worldwide. The mechanisms underlying cardiovascular disorders are complex and multifactorial including oxidative stress, inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction as well as modulating the activities of several kinases and phosphatases. Importantly, pharmacotherapies available for the management of these diseases are considered insufficient and show several limitations and side effects especially in high risk patients. Nutraceuticals are bioactive food components or phytochemicals that provide benefits including the prevention or treatment of several diseases. Nutraceuticals such as flavonoids, vitamins and other natural substances have shown pleiotropic antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
