- Summary:
- The use of nutritional supplements in the United States is exploding, with recent estimates suggesting that over half the population uses some type of dietary aid. This new book provides a valuable review of the most current scientific information on vitamins and nutritionally relevant minerals and their roles in health and disease. Synthesizing an extensive amount of experimental, epidemiological, and clinical research, the book provides a well-organized, single-volume reference on micronutrient science. For each micronutrient, you'll find information on function, deficiency, dietary reference intakes, disease prevention and treatment, sources, and safety issues. Every chapter has been peer-reviewed by a recognized expert in the field, and the book has been endorsed by the internationally acclaimed Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University. Expand your knowledge of this rapidly growing field with this scientifically accurate guide to vitamins and minerals that every physician, allied health care practitioner, and nutritionist needs in a complete professional library.
