How do you decide what to buy? Which supplement will give you the best bang for the buck in terms of quality nutrition?

Lyle MacWilliam and his NutriSearch Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements are your answer.

NutriSearch Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements

Over 1,500 Nutritional Supplements Examined

Now in its Fifth Edition, this is a compendium of over 1,500 products available in the United States and Canada.

Six sections make up The Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements. The first two sections provide detailed commentary on the value of nutritional supplements. It details their importance to overall health in today’s world.

The Guide tests McWilliam’s scientific background as a biochemist. He succeeds in presenting well-supported scientific facts in an easy-to-read format.

The educational content of the first two sections is great value in and of itself.

The third section explains the product analysis: how it was carried out and how product scores are determined. MacWilliam has used the input of 12 different nutritional authorities [including Earl Mindell, Dr. Richard Passwater, and Dr. Nicholas Perricone] in establishing his scoring criteria, called the Blended Standard.

The Scoring System

The final two sections dive into detailed analysis of over 1,500 brands of nutritional supplements.

Section V depicts all products rated 3-stars or higher [out of a five-star maximum] in graphical form. All are compared to the Blended Standard.

The book culminates with Section VI, almost 100 pages of in-depth analysis of multi-vitamin products. These lists score the products, then sort them both alphabetically and by score, from highest to lowest.

Some of the results will shock you. For instance, some of the best-known brand names have astonishingly poor scores. Both Centrum Silver and One-a Day 50+ score 0.5 out of 5.0!

Bump up your knowledge on nutrition and ensure money is well spent on your nutritional supplements of choice. The NutriSearch Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements is a must for helping you do both.
