Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growing consumer interest in health and fitness has expanded the market for a wide range of products, from yoga mats to the multiple dietary supplements now on the market. Supplements are popular, but are they safe? Many dietary supplements are probably safe when used as recommended. However, since 1994 when Congress decided that they should be regulated as if they were foods, they are assumed to be safe unless the Food and Drug Administration can demonstrate that they pose a significant risk to the consumer. But there are many types of products that qualify as dietary supplements, and the distinctions can become muddled and vague. Manufacturers are not legally required to provide specific information about safety before marketing their products. And the sales of supplements have been steadily increasingâ€"all together, the various types now bring in almost $16 billion per year. Given these confounding factors, what kind of information can the Food and Drug Administration use to effectively regulate dietary supplements? This book provides a framework for evaluating dietary supplement safety and protecting the health of consumers.

Book excerpt: Dietary supplements are widely available through a rapidly expanding market of products commonly advertised as beneficial for health, performance enhancement, and disease prevention. Given the importance and frequent evaluation of physical performance and health as a criteria to join and remain in the military, the use of these products by military personnel has raised concern regarding over-all and long-term efficacy and safety. This evaluation is especially difficult, as many of these supplements contain multiple ingredients, have a changing composition over time, or are used intermittently at doses difficult to measure. This book analyzes the patterns of dietary supplement use among military personnel, examines published reviews of the scientific evidence, and identifies those dietary supplements that are beneficial and/or warrant concern due to risks to health or performance. The book also recommends a system to monitor adverse health effects and a framework to identify the need for active management of dietary supplements by military personnel. Military policy makers, personnel, and recruits will find this book useful, as will nutritionists, athletes, and others working in strenuous environments.

Book excerpt: This book will help you select more absorbable, potent and safe nutrient formulations that can protect you from the degenerative effects of nutrient deficiencies in the food you eat. It will help you protect your health from the disease process if you have been consuming nutrient deficient foods, even if you feel you eat a generally “healthy” diet. Also, knowing the origins of your supplement ingredients is critical to determine just how effective your supplements really are. Many thousands of people are taking supplements of poor quality. Chances are, those supplements may be doing more harm than good, creating inflammatory conditions due to the biological incompatibility of synthetic vitamins and the non-absorbable types of minerals used by manufacturers who want to cut production costs. Nutrient deficiencies are one of the major causes of many degenerative diseases millions of people suffer from today, and that includes deficiencies due to poorly formulated supplements.You get what you pay for in the way of price and nonabsorbability. Mixing synthetic vitamins and finely ground, poorly absorbable mineral elements and forming them into tablets with toxic binders and excipients does not constitute a healthy supplement, but are cheap to produce and leave much room for profit margins of the manufacturer and chains of distribution. If you wish to have truly effective supplements, the ingredients in those formulations must contain whole food, enzyme-active substances in the mix, and one or more combinations of formulations must contain the full range of all known essential nutrients found in whole foods. The ongoing debate over whether supplements are good for you or bad could be quickly settled if this little tidbit would be brought out into the open.Finally resolve your questions about ingredients on your supplements' labels and confidently select your supplements, knowing they are truly effective, safe and nourishing. Use this reference manual and feel the difference.

Book excerpt: Dietary supplements made from foods, herbs and their constituents are a rapidly growing market sector. Consumers often view food supplements as ‘natural’ and therefore safe; however, supplements are regulated as foods rather than as pharmaceuticals and so are not as closely monitored as may be necessary. With the commercial market in these products growing, this book provides essential research into their safety, efficacy and potential risk of interaction with pharmaceuticals. Following an introductory chapter, part one covers the chemical composition, manufacture and regulation of dietary supplements. Part two looks at the effectiveness of different types of dietary supplement and methods of evaluation. Finally, part three focuses on supplement safety. Reviews the design, production and regulation of dietary supplements. Analyses the potential for pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics interactions between dietary supplements and pharmaceuticals. Offers reviews of important clinical studies on the efficacy of dietary supplements for range of conditions.
