The Vitamin Book: The Complete Guide to Vitamins, Minerals, and the Most Effective Herbal Remediesand Dietary Supplements

It's a solid book with tons of information on nutrition and vitamin/mineral and herbal supplements. Has many charts and tables with the nutritional value of foods, which is cool. Even though it says "completely updated" it hasn't been revised since 1999, and there have been some important findings since then. They also don't recommend colloidal minerals, but I can attest to the benefits of colloidal silver in preventing infection. Overall I recommend it if you don't know much about nutrition and supplements. However it is missing some important, up-to-date information.

It is a Good guide for people who are interested in keeping a Healthy body. I use all the information, that this book has, ad my Guide in teaching Señor Folks on how to maintain a Healthy Body through the use of Vitamins and Minerals.

I prefer the most updated information, which includes serious diseases and maladies; ground-breaking cures, plus multi-symptom relief. Additionally, extensive in-debt studies and research about how vitamins & minerals affect the body, negatively & positively. Unwise use of certain vitamins can be harmful. Deficiencies are not mentioned enough, such as my Vitamin D3 deficiency, and my mother's lack of calcium as a toddler. Certainly, more health-related books need to circulating in our communities. Let us all not be health-illiterate.

This book has more information than I will ever need to know. I would recommend if you are looking for all the details, good and bad, of vitamins. Good price.

another book everyone should have

Don't buy

This book has everything you need to know about vitamins I would recomend this book to anyone who belives in the natural abilites of vitamins. I gave it as a gift to my mother and she loved it. Thank You.

This is a well organized guideline for anyone who is interested in nutrition. It also reveals the workings of macro-nutrients such as Zinc.

Diabolical that this should still being soldRead everything with a pinch of salt + its an american publication based on american research and RDA's - info is so out dated that the info is in the dark ages and irrelevant. I was duped - please find a current publication on Vitamins and minerals

Published in USA, this is a complete and very helpful guide. Recommended.

An excellent book which seems to cater for everybody from layman to serious student. Very complete descriptions of each item (vitamins / minerals) enable one to work out a fairly complete dietary régime.

brilliant book.

so much information and not too bulky or heavy. loved how i could bring it in my purse to the health store and have all the knowledge i need
