Customer Reviews

Excellent reference, breaks through the FUD

Go to a natural health store, read the labels, and each supplement claims to be the absolute best one. Not only confusing, it's a turn-off because it also doesn't foster trust or a good understanding of what is out there, when it's effective, or who needs to take what and when. Wading through all the snake oil to find reputable, well-made, effective products is tough. This book (I read the 2002 edition) is written by the Willner pharms and an MD. I give them credit for remaining 100% objective with very minimal shilling of their own brand. They emphasize the basics (multivitamin and calcium) before branching out into supplement land. They helped me understand dosage, dosage timing, size, potency,sources, etc. And they help break through so much of the confusion around supplements. Very informative, well presented and well organized. I highly recommend.

Looked all over and here it is...

Here's what is inside: 1) book is broken down by catagories: herbs, vitamins, minerals, etc. >>> good organization; 2) provides precise synopsis on use and effect >>> good start up guidance for general reference; 3) quite inclusion, covers almost everything in each catagory >>> great coverage; 4) provides product recommendation >>> buying advise; 5) easy to use and read >>> I don't have need a medical degree to comprehend; 6) mentions adverse effects, if any >>> always useful. Everything in one book. I bought two, just in case something happens to the other one.
