Outstanding, Original and Fabulously Useful!

There are many nutrition books, and food count books on the market with lots of great information about which nutrients are found in which foods. Many of these books also provide information and suggestions regarding nutritional supplementation. While I have found these book immeasurably informative, many times (I think) it is easy to get bogged down, trying to distill information from such a broadly based type of presentation ... especially if you are looking for information on supplements to treat or support a specific condition, or health related issue. What makes this book a standout (for me) is the way it is formatted. Supplements are presented in categories addressing particular points of focus. For example (just a few of the many) target concerns for supplementation include "Joint and Bone Health", "Vision Supplements", "Immune System Stimulation" etc. Information addressing each specific concern is presented in simple, well organized charts which I found to be hugely useful. In addition, this book presents information on each separate supplement in an easy to read format which is detailed enough to give a good overview .... but no so much information that it becomes a chore.Extensively referenced, this very well written and originally formatted book is a genuine pleasure to read. By far the most well organized and "to the point" (general) supplement book I have read to date. I recommend it wholeheartedly!
