Review :
From the reviews: "This high quality book can be read and understood by many different people in the health professions and those who are very interested in their own supplementation strategies. This book will be very useful to me in my profession as I encounter questions regarding nutritional supplements on a daily basis. It teaches readers how to self-educate and how to identify false and misleading claims, something I have not seen in any other books. It is also better than others in the field because it does not go into such depth that readers get lost, but it does provide more detail than just the basics of nutritional supplements. This book can complement many nutritional strategies and many other sports nutrition books and should be in the library of any health professionals who work with the active population." (Allison Maurer, MS, RD, CSSD, CSCS, University of Tennessee at Knoxville) "This book provides detailed analysis of nutritional supplementation, supported by scientific research regarding sports and exercise performance. ...
