As a formulator of dietary supplements and sports nutrition products, I have collection of hundreds of books and scientific journals on nutrition. I found this book to be an excellent desk reference on sport supplements. It is concise, easy to understand and full of the "need to know" information that will give you the honest truth on the ingredients and products that are available in your sports nutrition and health food stores. I highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about educating themselves regarding performance nutrition or those who just want results!

Just finished reading this book. It really is an amazing source of information for anyone who is serious about their health, nutrition, and athleticism. What I like is that much of the information on supplements is backed by notable research. I would recommend it to athletes and anyone else looking to enhance their performance.

This book contains extremely pertinent information on supplements that athletes commonly use. I am currently in the process of training for my next triathlon and have found a lot of information contained in this book extremely valuable. My workouts consist of swimming, cycling, running, and power lifting, and it has been very difficult to find the exact supplements needed to support this regimen. Adele and Jalali have taken very technical information and translated into easy to understand terms for people that don't have a biology/chemistry based educational background without compromising communicating the details of how the human body functions with respect to the given supplement.

I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking to use supplements to support their workout regimen. With a slough of information all over the internet, this book can be a single "go to" reference for someone looking for information without all getting caught up with all the misinformation online.

I am Involved in a fitness contest at the age of 49 years. Where to start! there are so many suppliments and so much information ot there.
But this book has it all and the information is guiding me through some amazing results in just six weeks. Its simple, straight to the point and easy to understand.
The best thing is the price this book is worth many times more, like I said from athletes to the average joe. This wealth of information is exactly what I needed to learn facts about what it takes to get fit. I have learned so much. And I am feeling GREAT. Thanks you guys

Could not put this book down once I started reading it. Talk about a most comprehensive book on sport supplements, this book is the best ever. It certainly satisfied my curiosity about the many misconceptions in the supplement industry. Many of the research publications are too technical for the average reader but this book is an easy read and will clarify any question one has about the incredible amount of supplements available in this indusry. I consider the recommendations made about selecting certain companies and their products is a highlight of the book. This is a 5-star book that is certainly underpriced.

This book has taught us me how to take supplements to enhance my performance in the gym and in sports. There is a lot of conflicting information out there that can really be counter productive. After reading this easy to follow book, I have complete understanding on how to excel at the gym and on the field. Since I am close to being forty, I am excelling against people who are ten years younger than me (and I look great). This book is the true authority on supplements and nutrition. If you are a serious athlete, a part time athlete, or just want to be in the best shape of your life this book will give you the egde you need.

This book is one of the best, research based, and easy to read guides on sports supplements ever written. I have read several other books on this subject but this one puts it all together with user friendly "need to know" information. As an avid runner, I especially liked the useful sports programs in the back of the book. I also loved the information about choosing the right company to buy supplements from since there are so many guys out there making crazy claims and its hard to figure out who to trust. I think this book is essential to anyone involved in fitness or athletics.

This book contains very basic information and doesn't review any products. It talked in generalities and the majority of products that are mentioned are iSatori, which is affiliated with the author.
