Recent Publication: The Truth About Dietary Supplements
After decades of research on herbal remedies, pharmaceuticals, and the bizzare industry of dietary supplements, Center advisor Mahtab Jafari developed this book as a guide to teach the public how to choose and take the supplements that they truly need and to avoid those that could cause them harm. In a largely unregulated industry, dietary supplements exist in a virtual minefield of misinformation and potentially dangerous health trends. This book will provide readers with all the facts and information needed to make informed decisions about supplement consumption and to ultimately make healthier choices along the way.
