This second edition of Dietary Supplements & Functional Foods
has been fully revised and expanded. The book looks at the accepted
uses of dietary supplements and also explores the wider picture,
identifying common themes and principles or particular categories of
supplements. Much new information across the whole spectrum of this
fascinating and expanding field is included, with additional material
covering changes in relevant legislation, examples of superfoods,
up-to-date information and informed debate concerning vitamin D, folic
acid, fish oils and antioxidants Several new sections have been added to
this successful and well-received book. This book is now even more
user-friendly and ideal for course use, and an invaluable reference for
those working in the health sciences, and the supplements industry.
Dietitians, nutritionists, food scientists and food technologists will
all find much of great use and value within its covers. All universities
and research establishments where these subjects are studied and taught
should have copies of this excellent new edition on their shelves.
