5.0 out of 5 stars
Delightfully informative and resourceful,
This review is from: Nutritional Influences on Illness: A Sourcebook of Clinical Research (Paperback)
With so many people today taking a variety of supplements, this book is an indespensable reference. Has cut my research time considerably. Part 1, Illnesses and the effects of nutrients, is a brief summary of the scientific evidence of a particular supplement. It has chapters on Common Nutritional Deficiencies, Dangers of Nutritional Supplementation, Laboratory Methods for Nutritional Evaluation, Syndromes Due to Abnormal Tissue Nutrient Levels, Nutrient Bioavailability and Interactions. This is a must buy book for anyone that is involved in prevention of diseases.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nutritional Influences on Illness: A Sourcebook of Clinical Research (Paperback)
The book is like cliff notes, and if you do not know everything then you have to find the referenced items. I am not a doc and would prefer to have things written out for me. The info was good, but I had to dig a lot further for it.
