Reviews

[Daniel Taylor · Rating 4 out of 5]

While Reader's Digest books tend to be well-researched and easy to read, this one is especially helpful if you have a health need where you'll benefit from supplements.

It looks at how to help you from two angles: ailments and supplements. Once you've found what you want, it provides a comprehensive guide to how the vitamins, minerals and herbs will benefit you, as well as pointing out risks you need to consider.

Desde hace unos años empecé a cambiar mi alimentación y fue entonces cuando empecé a estar interesado en los complementos alimenticios naturales y suplementos alimenticios naturales. Tanto es así que cree mi propio página de complementos alimenticios con mis impresiones y el poder en la salud que tienen las hierbas naturales en ella.
