We are surrounded by information about dietary supplements, but much of it is misleading or contradictory. Understanding Dietary Supplements clears up confusion and guides the reader to informed choices.
Chapters provide
- Both an overview and detailed information about key supplements
- Coverage of a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals, herbs and botanicals, drugs, and other options
- Jargon-free explanations of how each supplement can work in the body
- Safety concerns about interactions and misuse
- Regulations imposed on the industry and recent trends in the industry's development
- A helpful glossary, and listings of outside resources
And for the engaged reader, the book includes the full text of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994–the model for the FDA's regulation of dietary supplements.
