From the Publisher
Part One of The Real Vitamin &
Mineral Book explains exactly why you need vitamin and mineral
supplements not only to protect yourself against disease, but
to reach the highest levels of mental and physical well-being.
It then tells you how to design your own personalized nutrient
plan based on your specific health problems and nutritional needs.
Each of the following chapters discusses a particular vitamin,
mineral, or other supplement - including new and exciting supplements
like DHEA and melatonin.
It presents factual information
on that nutrient, and tells you exactly what that nutrient can,
and cannot, do for you. The authors then provide a scientifically
documented Optimum Daily Intake (ODI) to follow, which is generally
well above the government's Recommended Daily Intake (RDI). Included
are sample worksheets and supplement checklists to help you incorporate
these healthful supplements into your busy lifestyle.
