[.ca] Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements (ISBN 0973253800)

Best I've Found:
My wife and I have taken nutritional supplements for years. It's always been 'up to me' to determine what brands are the best. I used to be a distributor for USANA nutritionals (rated #1 in this book) and then switched to Life Extension Foundation products (also rated high in this book). It was reassuring to me that by my own discernment, I had chosen the best. I have never found a book so complete and thorough as this book on rating nutritional supplements. I did read in one of the other reviews on this book, that someone had a problem with Denis Waitley reviewing the book when he was in fact, associated with USANA. Why? If that person took the time to do a little research, they would have found that other Doctors that made their own personal recommendations for the purpose of establishing a 'Blended Standard', were associated with several different companies. i.e. Dr. Michael Colgan is the Director of the Colgan Institute of Nutritional Science in San Diego and promotes his own brand of nutritional supplements. However, he's also associated with USANA. And Dr. Julian Whitaker, Director of the Whitaker Wellness Instituee, Inc in Newport Beach, CA, also promotes his own brand of nutritional supplements. Dr. Michael Murray, N.D. is associated with Natural Factors, a Canadian based nutritional supplement company. These doctors and others, all made their own suggestions as to what they thought went into making up the 'best' supplements. Then, an average was taken to determine the 'Blended Standard' to assess over 1000 supplement manufacturers products. This was boiled down to the best 500 and then charted in this book. USANA topped the list. So who would YOU have writing a testimonial for the book? Someone who represents a manufacturer that finished 500th? This is by far, the best book I've found on comparing nutritional supplements and their manufacturers.

Great information on supplements:
This book really defines what you should look for in a nutritional supplement. It was very helpful to me to see the supplement I was taking lacked in certain areas. Since reading this book, I have switched to a higher ranking supplement and feel better than ever. The difference in outstanding. This book seems to be right on track..

It's amazing:
You can't find a better comparative guide on the market.

I am very pleased with this guide:
I found the Comparative Guide very helpful in understanding the maze of information on supplements that exists today. It can be very difficult to understand how supplements work, the need for supplements, and very importantly- the quality of supplements! MacWilliam has done a great job. jcrshelton@yahoo.com
