Rezensionen
The British Dietetic Association, Volume 19, Issue 4, August 2006
"...the strength of his book still lies in providing a concise overview of substances to be used in supplements and functional foods. The succinct chapter on natural products and extracts is very valuable and up-to-date. I would recommend this book as a reference to students from a variety of health-related disciplines. Also, dietitians and health practitioners could update their general knowledge on dietary supplements and function foods. For scientists, the book is an attractive source of basic information in a concise format."
"The additional value of the book compared with a standard book of reference lies in the valuable synopsis material applicable to dietary supplements, especially the natural products and extracts, and functional foods."
