ABOUT THE BOOK

EDITORIAL REVIEW

This quick-glance reference helps students and health professionals educate themselves and their patients/clients about the scientific evidence for and against more than 120 popular dietary supplements. Supplements are logically grouped into 12 chapters based on their primary desired effect, such as weight loss, joint support, and sports performance enhancement. The authors give each supplement a one-to-five-star rating based on the level of scientific substantiation for each of its major claimed effects. The book highlights crucial safety issues regarding each supplement and sets forth recommended dosages for particular effects. A quick-reference appendix lists all the supplements alphabetically with their star ratings.

USER REVIEWS

"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."
