Review :
'If there was ever a Bible on vitamins and nutrition, The Vitamin Solution is it.' 'This consumer guide to therapeutic vitamin use takes a welcoming, conversational approach to a clinical topic. Doctors Block and Levitan draw on their experiences with patients and have come to the conclusion that many common ailments, from depression to sleep problems to weight issues, can be eased (they are wisely careful to never say cured) by vitamin supplementation.'
