Solve it with supplements

Many people turn to herbal and nutritional supplements hoping to ease symptoms or guard against illness, yet choosing a product and deciding how much to take can be confusing. This guide tackles that problem by recommending supplements for more than 100 common complaints, along with the best way to use each one.

Every suggestion was checked by two physicians who focus on complementary and alternative medicine. Each entry gives exact dosing and explains where a supplement should not be used, along with its possible interactions with prescription drugs, foods, and other supplements. The authors also look at the evidence for and against popular but disputed products, including bee pollen, creatine, DHEA, and vitamin E.

Throughout, the book flags the situations in which a reader should see a doctor rather than treat a problem alone. It is written for adults who want a practical reference for managing everyday health concerns at home.
