Reviews:
01-Jan-08, British Nutrition Foundation:
'Written in an easy-to-use encyclopaedia format, and so allows practitioners to use it as reference, rather than having to read it cover-to-cover...this book serves as a useful tool for all healthcare professionals who may be faced with questions concerning the use of dietary supplements. It provides a concise overview of a large range of supplements, while in addition providing a more in-depth evaluation of those at the forefront of this field'While the majority of health practitioners are likely to benefit from this resource, many health-conscious members of the public may also find it a useful point of reference.'
Heather Caswell, Research Assistant, British Nutrition Foundation. Nutrition Bulletin, 33, 2008
01-Aug-07, Irish Pharmacy Journal:
'...one of its most attractive features is a useful, if qualitative, paragraph summarising the ultimate worth of each supplement.'
James Barlow RCPI. The Irish Pharmacy Journal, Volume 85 (NO.S - 8 and 9) , August/September 2007
