This book is so informative! It is sometimes very technical but also describes the processes in lay terms. It tells you how your body breaks down and uses specific vitamins. This is a great book for those who want to understand how the body works.
It is just what it’s explained on the cover page. Every vitamin and mineral is described from the following points of view:
- how it works in the human body
- why we need it
- how much of it we need it
- where to find it
- what happens if we lack it
This book is what I was looking for. I am someone who seeks health, not a professional.
I am an electro-engineer PhD, who also get involved with Bio-phenomena. For this reason I assumed that I need a short book (not a bible) in order to understand the essential points for Vitamines & minerals. This book covers all basic knowledge with a comprehensive way & very usefull tables, quiz, short but very advisable comments & above all an appendix with all basics info for all vitamines & minerals (RDA’s, defficiancy, toxicity, upper level etc). Just order it without loosing time!!!
This book was better than I was expecting as it provides so much information about all the nutrients. I was expecting a small simple book and this is very comprehensive and quite complex.
There is a lot of great information in the book that is useful for learning about vitamins and minerals. I really like the authors organic and biochemistry explanations on the vitamins and how they work in the body. The figures are helpful to see how it all works. The content is comprehensive and if I was teaching a nutrition or vitamin class, I would recommend getting the book. There is a vast amount of information that is useful in this book.
