[.ca] Vitamins For Dummies (ISBN 0764551795)

Very informative resource:
I have a friend who is very much into the "science" of vitamin, mineral and herb supplements and who has been trying to get me to take some form of supplement. I came across this book and was impressed at the amount of information contained in it. Chapters devoted to various vitamins, what they do, and what foods they can be found in. Also there is information about various minerals and herbs, as well as a part of the book devoted to various common illnesses and disorders that can be helped with the use of vitamins, minerals, and herbs. Of course, this book is not the same as talking with your doctor about any health issue you may have and should be not be used in that manner. However, this book does give lots of tips and ideas about ways to improve your health through the use of supplements.

Vitamins For Dummies:
Great book if you know little or nothing about vitamins and want to become more informed. Simple to understand. Great reference section on healing programs for ailments. Only thing negative I could say is they could possibly add more detail to touch on any limits for length of time taken and drug interatctions if any etc... Basically reassurance on the safety could be a bit more detailed. But overall, I love the book. Written easy to understand and reference.

Very Energizing:
What a wonderful, easy to read book...full of information and didn't go over my head. I refer back to this book almost daily..as I am trying to introduce more supplements into my diet.

More informative and easy to read...:
Once my brother (...) buy this book I'm already ask about vitamins and it's benefits in the human body. This book give me more than you expect like definition, components of every one, and average of daily use. I feels very powerful by using KNOWLOGY with use of my sweet multivitamin and mineral.

A great resource:
This book is an excellent introduction to the wide, often-confusing world of vitamins and supplements. It makes a great addition to anyone's health library, and it's so easy to read! The book also has helpful usage guides and symptoms to look for that might indicate deficiency in a certain vitamin or mineral. Christopher Hobbs and Elson Haas did a fine job on this book.
