About the Journal
International Journal of Nutritions is a peer-reviewed open-access journal launched in 2024 that aims to publish high-quality original research, reviews, and meta-analyses in the field of nutrition. The journal seeks to provide a platform for researchers, scientists, nutritionists, and healthcare professionals to share their insights and findings on the latest advancements in the science of nutrition. The journal welcomes contributions from researchers and practitioners working in the fields of nutrition, biochemistry, epidemiology, public health, medicine, and related disciplines.
