The only Vitamin Book good enough to call itself THE vitamin book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
One of the best nutrient/supplement guides in existence, albeit the title is too short. The Vitamin Book contains information on Vitamins, Minerals, Herbal Remedies, and everything related thereto. Especially helpful are the charts near the back, one of which shows the nutrients contained within everyday food, and not just fruits and vegetables. If you ever wanted to know how much Folic Acid was in a McDonald's Quarter Pounder with Cheese, this book will tell you. This reviewer was actually surprised to learn that there is 100 mcg's of Vitamin A in a Sausage egg biscuit. Overall, this book is ideal for anyone who wants to know more about the vitamins they need, the supplements they take, and the foods they eat. A welcome tool for anyone's better-health arsenal.
A very solid and easy to read book.

The Vitamin Book is the Strunk and White for nutrition. It is concise, yet provides all the essentials and is enjoyable to read cover to cover. It is a great primer on vitamins and minerals, but experts can also refresh their knowledge and glean a few gems from its pages. I believe that a new addition will also contain chapters on herbals which will further enhance this excellent book.
