Studies conducted at Penn State University to evaluate the effects of spices and herbs (S&amp;H) on risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) are summarized herein. We also report effects of S&amp;H on phytochemical metabolites and the microbiome. Results demonstrate beneficial effects of S&amp;H on postprandial endothelial function, insulin and triglycerides, pancreatic lipase, inflammatory markers, and measures of oxidative defense. In a controlled-feeding trial that evaluated 3 doses of S&amp;H (0.5, 3.3, and 6.6\u2009g\/d per 2100\u2009kcal) in the context of an average American diet, the high-S&amp;H diet improved 24-hour blood pressure after 4\u2009weeks, the moderate-S&amp;H diet decreased proinflammatory cytokines, and the high-S&amp;H diet reduced monocyte adherence. Our research also identified polyphenol metabolites that may have important functional properties for CVD risk reduction. Finally, we report benefits of S&amp;H on gut bacterial composition, which suggests possible benefits on CVD risk.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/nutrit\/nuaf267","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,4]],"date-time":"2025-11-04T14:30:07Z","timestamp":1762266607000},"page":"70-75","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Cardiometabolic
