Evidence-based guide to more than 120 popular dietary supplements. Here is the quick-reference manual you need to help guide your patients and clients to safe and sensible choices among the growing number of dietary supplements. Dietary supplements seduce your patients with unrealistic expectations of health, fitness, and well-being, and limited regulation fo the dietary supplement market makes it difficult to separate fact from fiction.
The Health Professional’s Guide to Dietary Supplements cuts through the hype with evidence gathered from the latest clinical studies, allowing you to give your patients the best counsel possible. More than 120 of the most popular dietary supplements are covered. Supplements are logically grouped into 12 chapters based on their primary desired effect, including weight loss, joint support, and sports performance and energy enhancement.
At-a-Glance Facts Provided for Each Supplement:
- Star Rating tanks each supplement from one to five stars based on the level of scientific substantiation for its major claimed effects (in humans).
- For quick reference, the appendix lists all the supplements with their star ratings in alphabetical order
- Overview offers a brief summary of the supplement—its uses and how it works.
- Scientific Support recaps the findings of major and recent clinical studies.
- Safety/Dosage highlights crucial safety issues and sets forth recommended dosages for particular effects.
- References guide you to the authors’ sources.
The Health Professional’s Guide to Dietary Supplements is the authoritative quick reference guide that should be on every practitioner’s bookshelf.
