Book Reviews of Sports Supplement Buyer's Guide: Complete Nutrition for Your Active Lifestyle
Book Review: Extremely valuable to the avid athlete
Summary: 5 Stars
This book contains extremely pertinent information on supplements that athletes commonly use. I am currently in the process of training for my next triathlon and have found a lot of information contained in this book extremely valuable. My workouts consist of swimming, cycling, running, and power lifting, and it has been very difficult to find the exact supplements needed to support this regimen. Adele and Jalali have taken very technical information and translated into easy to understand terms for people that don't have a biology/chemistry based educational background without compromising communicating the details of how the human body functions with respect to the given supplement.
I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking to use supplements to support their workout regimen. With a slough of information all over the internet, this book can be a single "go to" reference for someone looking for information without all getting caught up with all the misinformation online.

There are so many sports supplements available today: protein powders, amino acids for muscle building, fat-burner nutrients,, and so on. You may have wondered, do I really need to take supplements? Which ones should I take? And how do I know the good one from the not-so-good ones? This book will help you sort through the overwhelming array of sports supplements and come up with a supplement regimen to fit your specific needs and goals. For the active person, it is vital to maintain a good nutrient intake to avoid basic nutritional deficiencies, help prevent injuries, promote the health of specific body systems, and accomplish training goals such as building muscle mass or burning fat.
