About this book
A treasure trove of uncommon and reliable scientific and clinical information for the toxicity and usefulness of today's leading nonherbal dietary supplements. The supplements detailed were chosen for their popularity, toxicity, and the quantity and quality of information available. Each monograph discusses the history of the compound; its chemical structure; its current and promoted uses, sources, and chemical composition; and its toxicity, pharmacokinetics, and physiological role. Also presented are case reports of adverse effects and interactions, as well as information on reproductive effects, chemical and biofluid analysis, and regulatory status. Each chapter is based on original studies published in reputable peer-reviewed journals, as well as on meta-analyses, systematic reviews, or other high-quality assessments by recognized experts.
Reviews
"The book is nonjudgmental and backs up its assertions with pertinent references and provides data on both positive and negative aspects of each supplement. The summary chart at the end of the book provides a quick reference for the reader.This is a useful and enlightening book. It is a nice alternative to the multiple other options on supplements as it uses reliable sources and is scientifically based. Some of the data, such as interactions and pharmacokinetics, is difficult to find without substantial research. It has been nicely collected in this one book.This book is intended for practicing healthcare clinicians who have patients using these supplements, particularly internists, family practitioners, and emergency physicians. It also has utility for exercise physiologists and other specialists whose patients may be using these supplements for particular ailments or aims. Forensic physicians and researchers will find the information on pharmacokinetics, biofluid analysis and interactions quite useful.

"...fills a niche that needed filling and offers a large amount of valuable material that is sure to become increasingly important to the practice of forensic science in the not too distant future." - Canadian Society of Forensic Science Journal
