This is the perfect reference for anyone that is taking, thinking about taking, or helping others decide what supplements to take. It is the first book to analyze supplements in a clear, concise, and highly scientific manner. I have already recommended it to my university professors, professional peers, and clients. I also recommend it to you!
A great reference guide that is still easy to digest, even for a non-health professional. I appreciate the straightforward approach and the fact that its peer-reviewed - it is often quite hard to find truthful & straightforward information about supplements, both pros & cons.
Book is jam-packed with scientific information about Dietary supplements. Book arrived quickly and in excellent condition. I am very happy with my purchase.
Well researched and the format is super user-friendly. I am curious as to when the next update of this book will be released...
very infoprmative reading. easy to read with sometimes a medical dictionary nearby. has all the info you need for finding thte right ones for your specific issues.
It's an old book but still very good - I just wish it was available in a downloadable e-format.
