Dear colleagues,
From novel dietary indexes and biomarkers to more contemporary nutritional issues including sustainability, health literacy, and food security, nutrition research is constantly evolving. Grounded on the pillars of nutrition epidemiology, nutritional science is updated while moving towards a more evidence-based approach.
To address this we had started a special issue in Nutrients journal entitled ""Contemporary Issues in Nutrition Research". This special issue aims to embrace updated multidisciplinary research on all challenges and important aspects of nutrition today, including principles of hydration, new supplementation delivery methods, evidence on personalized nutrition and health, as well as epidemiological and methodological issues related to the science of nutrition and dietetics. The authors of original articles, opinion papers, as well as narrative and systematic reviews are welcome to submit and showcase their research.

Thank you for your interest,
with regards,
Dr. Maria G. Grammatikopoulou Dr. Markos Klonizakis Guest Editors
Dear Dr. Maria,
Role of pharmacists in vaccination delivery is increasing, I feel if anyone writes on nutritional counseling and supply of nutraceuticals by pharmacists, those would be additional clinical services by pharmacists; Technical Report Elsevier Book: Clinical Pharmacy Education, Practice and Research
It is happening and with such articles, this practice becomes more formalized and improved.Best wishes with the special issue.
Vitamin K2 (MK 7) as a strong inhibitor of coronary artery calcification (CAC), I believe, is a contemporary issue. Heart disease is the #1 case of death in the US.
Please see:
*Main dietary sources of vitamin K2 are: fermented soybeans called natto, grass fed butter, eggs, organ meats and cheese.
*BMC Nephrology, Mabel Aoun, et al., “High Dephosphorylated-Uncarboxylated MGP in Hemodialysis patients: risk factors and response to vitamin K2, A pre-post intervention clinical trial”, BMC series – open, inclusive and trusted, 2017, 18:191 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-017-0609-3
* Studies have shown populations with higher vitamin K2 intake (>32 mcg) have a 50% reduction in death risk from CVD compared to those with low intake (J Nutr., 134(11), 2004, Integr Med {Encinitas}, 14(1), 2015)
