The study of nutritional supplements has become increasingly
important within research establishments and universities
throughout the world, and as the market for these products
continues to grow, so does the need for comprehensive
scientifically sound information about the products, their
properties and potential health benefits.

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.
