The Consumer's Guide to Buying Quality Nutritional Supplements [Paperback]

"Buyer Be Wise is a valuable book for beginners who are entering the complicated world of nutritional and herbal supplements. It is also useful for anyone who is seeking quality and balance in the natural products they buy." -- Alan Gaby, M.D.

You know that supplements can help you, but how do you choose? Buyer Be Wise! provides clear, practical guidelines to help you invest in quality products, and ultimately, in your health. Karolyn Gazella, veteran research journalist and IMPAKT Communications president, interviews some of the best-known names in the natural health field. Their combined recommendations will help you make informed purchasing decisions.

As the popularity of natural medicine surges, so does the plethora of natural products-good and bad. How does the uninformed consumer identify quality supplements to support good health? What are some of the "red flags" a consumer needs to watch for? And where can an individual turn to for reliable guidelines.
