The incidence of these diseases in the world\u2019s population is constantly increasing as a result of an aging population. Although genetic and environmental factors are most often mentioned as the pathogenetic factors of these diseases, increasing evidence points to the important role of proper nutrition in the prevention and support of the treatment of these disorders. A healthy, balanced diet can mitigate the risks associated with the risk factors mentioned above and slow the progression of the disease by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. Vitamins B, D, E, C, K, and A have been shown to support cognitive functions and protect the nervous system. This review demonstrates the importance of vitamins in preventing and supporting the therapy of neurodegenerative diseases. Information regarding the health-promoting properties of these vitamins must be effectively communicated to consumers seeking to protect their health, particularly in the context of neurodegenerative diseases. Consequently, this review also examines the authorized health claims under EU food law related to these vitamins, assessing their role in promoting awareness of the vitamins\u2019 potential benefits for neuroprotection and the management of neurodegenerative diseases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms26031333","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,5]],"date-time":"2025-02-05T04:15:41Z","timestamp":1738728941000},"page":"1333","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":39,"title":["Vitamins in the Prevention and Support Therapy of Neurodegenerative Diseases"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5992-8098","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karolina","family":"Orywal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemical Diagnostics, Medical University of Bialystok, Waszyngtona 15A, 15-269 Bialystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5949-7061","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katarzyna","family":"Socha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bromatology, Medical University of Bialystok, Mickiewicza 2D, 15-222 Bialystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9058-1125","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Piotr","family":"Iwaniuk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Plant Protection\u2014National Research Institute, Che\u0142mo\u0144skiego 22, 15-195 Bialystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3511-752X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Piotr","family":"Kaczy\u0144ski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Plant Protection\u2014National Research Institute, Che\u0142mo\u0144skiego 22, 15-195 Bialystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3360-1553","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jakub Ali","family":"Farhan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public International Law and European Law, University of Bia\u0142ystok, Mickiewicza 1, 15-213 Bia\u0142ystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5421-7668","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wojciech","family":"Zo\u0144","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public International Law and European Law, University of Bia\u0142ystok, Mickiewicza 1, 15-213 Bia\u0142ystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bo\u017cena","family":"\u0141ozowicka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Plant Protection\u2014National Research Institute, Che\u0142mo\u0144skiego 22, 15-195 Bialystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3909-3967","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maciej","family":"Perkowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public International Law and European Law, University of Bia\u0142ystok, Mickiewicza 1, 15-213 Bia\u0142ystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4075-8479","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Barbara","family":"Mroczko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemical Diagnostics, Medical University of Bialystok, Waszyngtona 15A, 15-269 Bialystok, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Neurodegeneration Diagnostics, Medical University of Bialystok, Waszyngtona 15A, 15-269 Bialystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Xu Lou, I., Ali, K., and Chen, Q.
