Reviews / Votes
"This is the first comprehensive book on nutraceuticals involving timely topics such as fenugreek. The book covers various aspects of nutraceuticals, including efficacy, safety and regulatory status. It will be an immense resource for researchers, toxicologists, clinicians and regulators engaged in the area of nutraceuticals." -- Dr. Ramesh C. Garg, Abbvie"This book is a great contribution to our understanding of naturally derived nutraceuticals and how they relate to human health. In the era of legal cannabis, this book highlights many of its beneficial properties, which have been overlooked for nearly a century." -- Dr. Joshua Hartsel, Delta-9 Technologies, San Diego, CA, USA
