Quotes, Reviews or Testimonials

"In this fast-developing the field, the update was great to see. This is a reference book more in tune with the scientific training of healthcare professionals. It goes into greater depth about each of the supplements it discusses, and has a greater focus on nutraceuticals."

-- Sharon Ewing, PhD, FNP, APRN, BS (University of Arizona College of Nursing) Doody's Review - prior edition
