Customer Reviews

Thorough and worth the investment!

I just got this book and I was engaged from the beginning to the end. Their is a lot of useful information about supplements, etc. Dr. Janson does a nice job explaining things that a layperson can understand. He seperates each category and also gives you sample supplement programs for your own dietary needs. This book was very good. It is also good for a medical person. Enjoy.

The Bible for Supplements

This book is the best "bible" of supplements for the layman who wants to make informed choices.I first heard Dr. Janson on the radio, on the Mark Scott Show in Detroit in the early 90s. Dr. Janson inspires and motivates audiences to change their lifestyles, and focuses on helping individuals to achieve their potential for vitality and longevity. He has a unique background with training in both conventional Western medicine and alternative therapies.I am not as enamoured of vegetariansim as Dr. Janson is, because I don't think it's right for me, however, his book allows you to individualize a supplement program that will help you to reach YOUR goals.Use this book to help yourself tailor a supplement program that is suitable to your unique needs. Along with the book, take a look at his website and monthly newsletter, and let him help to guide you toward a healthier lifestyle.

An excellent introduction to vitamins, minerals, and health.

Recently the American Medical Association has reversed its previous position and publicly acknowledged that Americans do not get enough vitamins and minerals from our food and need supplementation. Dr. Michael Janson has been well ahead of the AMA and has known and advocated this position for years. In this excellent book Dr. Janson discusses the role of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients in human health and discusses each important nutrient in detail -- including valuable and detailed information about both food sources and nutrient supplements. If you read this book and follow Dr. Janson's advice you will almost certainly become healthier and may well also live longer and in good health. As a research chemist who is well acquainted with Dr. Janson and his understandable, common-sense approach to nutrition and health, I highly recommend this book.
