From the Inside Flap:
"In a part of the health field not known for its devotion to rigorous science, Dr. Hendler brings to the practitioner and the curious patient a wealth of hard facts. Easy reading, well referenced. A welcome addition to the classic PDR."


Roger Guillemin, M.D., Ph.D.
Nobel Laureate in Physiology and Medicine

"An important compendium of information, well referenced and properly conservative in its recommendations."
Richard S. Rivlin, M.D.
Vice President of Medical Affairs, Naylor-Dana Chair in Nutrition, American Health Foundation
Professor of Medicine, Weill Medical College, Cornell University

"Dr. Hendler has created an indispensable guide to the possible health benefits and risks of nutritional supplements. He sounds sorely needed warnings on potential side effects, interactions, and toxicity. Unprecedented in depth and authority, this book offers an unparalleled resource on a subject of crucial importance."
Brian S. Frid, R.Ph.
President and CEO, Retired Persons Services, Inc.

"The athletes of today need more information than ever about the supplements they're taking as they go for victory. As a physician in the forefront of those who truly understand the benefits of nutritional supplementation, Dr. Hendler provides us with the vital facts we need to make choices on a scientific basis, rather than an emotional one. America has been starving for this kind of reference.... Long overdue."
Bill Toomey
1968 Olympic Decathlon Champion and Member of the Olympic Hall of Fame
Vice-President, World Olympian Association

"Assaulted from every angle by strident nutritional claims, today's wary consumer is in greater need of reliable information than ever before. This important new volume supplies the unbiased facts quickly, concisely, with authority.... A beacon in the shadowy world of nutritional quackery and hype and an invaluable guide to the supplements that really work."
Susan Calvert Finn, Ph.D., R.D., F.A.D.A.
Clinical Professor, Ohio State University
Past President, American Dietetic Association

"This book is a timely and superbly written exploration of the dynamic field of supplements.... A brilliant presentation of complex information in a logical and appropriately critical manner."
Walter H. Glinsmann, M.D.
Fellow & Adjunct Professor, Center for Food and Nutrition Policy, Georgetown University
Past Associate Director for Clinical Nutrition, FDA Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition
