Book description
A bewildering range of vitamin, mineral and herbal supplements are
now available, but legislation means that information about their
health benefits cannot be given on packaging as it would constitute a
health claim. Using a A - Z format Dr Sarah Brewer's guide details
everything you need to know about the main vitamin, mineral and herbal
supplements. It describes their benefits, possible side effects and
contra-indications, together with research evidence to back their
effectiveness. The second half of the book deals with over 150
individual health problems, including irritable bowel syndrome,
menopause symptoms, chronic fatigue and arthritis, and suggests which
supplements are likely to help.
