Nutraceutical n: a nutrient that is applied pharmaceutically The Nutraceutical Revolution is the complete low-down on the most frequently prescribed nutrients--the ones Dr. Richard Firshein finds he turns to most often in his practice; the most versatile; the safest; the ones that have shown the most promising, tangible benefits. Firshein has taken stock of the most common ailments and complaints he sees in his patients--everything from fatigue and stress to high cholesterol and sinus problems. What he has found is that he consults a core group of supplements--vitamins, herbs, minerals, amino acids, and phytochemicals--time and again to treat these various ills. That investigation has resulted in twenty chapters--one per nutrient--that explain everything you need to know about these little pills (or teas, or powders) and that enable you to design a healthy, healing regimen specifically tailored to your needs. As an added bonus, Firshein includes a final chapter that points the way to the future, outlining five "future nutrients" that are showing promising results in early research and testing.
