A great resource

This book is an excellent introduction to the wide, often-confusing world of vitamins and supplements. It makes a great addition to anyone's health library, and it's so easy to read! The book also has helpful usage guides and symptoms to look for that might indicate deficiency in a certain vitamin or mineral. Christopher Hobbs and Elson Haas did a fine job on this book.

MY THOUGHTS ON 'VITAMINS FOR DUMMIES'

I AM NEW IN THE BUSINESS OF SELLING VITAMINS AND HERBAL DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS. THIS BOOK TELLS ME EVERYTHING I NEED TO KNOW TO PRESENT MY PRODUCT TO HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS OR THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THIS IS A GREAT TOOL FOR ME AND I EXPECT TO WEAR IT OUT FROM USE. THANKS, MR HOBBS FROM THIS DUMMY. ROBERT E. MC DERMOTT-NREMT-B
