OverviewHave you noticed how quickly advertisements of immunity boosters have mushroomed recently? Turmeric latte, tulsi, amla, ginger, . . . the list goes on. Whether such supplements really work or whether the effect is purely psychological is a different matter—but Nutraceuticals in Human Health goes a long way in helping you to make sense of what nutraceuticals are, to examine the oft exaggerated claims of their benefits, and to separate marketing gimmicks from truth.
