Insightful, objective, and evidence-based, this overview of the most commonly used supplements dispels misinformation and provides facts from a qualified physician’s point of view.
An endless array of vitamin and mineral supplements are available to health-conscious consumers today, and an increasing number of individuals have incorporated these supplements into their daily routines. Unfortunately, their use is often inspired by rumor rather than sound medical advice. The results of clinical research on these supplements’ effectiveness are often inconclusive while some studies have even shown negative health effects from overuse. Instead of relying on media hype and often-conflicting “word-of-mouth” information, people who take nutritional supplements need an authoritative, evidence-based reference text about self-medication with vitamins and minerals. Dr. Zina Kroner has provided exactly that.
Vitamins and Minerals is an eye-opening guide that separates truth from myth about dozens of today’s common and popular supplements. It covers the effects of the deficiency of each nutrient, its primary uses, dosages, food sources, potential side effects, and mechanism of action, helping readers make informed decisions about use of these under-regulated, over-the-counter “nutraceuticals.”

I thought this book was an solid objective overview of vitamins and minerals. I thought that it was both easy for the Lay-person to understand and had enough detail for a professional to be inspired as well. I find myself referring to it regularly. It is well referenced so I trust the material. I also really like that it is written by an integrative doctor who has a holistic approach to patient care. I referenced this book when I wanted my doctor to check b12 and vitamin D levels in my blood. I would recommend it as a reference book to have in the home.

VITAMINS AND MINERALS by Dr. Zina Kroner is a first class guide to supplements. I have many books on my shelves that deal with this subject, yet on every page, the author presents important information which is new to me. Its a timely, well documented book which separates the facts from the hype. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!
