A reference to the broad landscape of nonvitamin, nonmineral supplements
Edited by Seyed Mohammad Nabavi, this food-science volume gathers information on supplement categories beyond vitamins and minerals. Its scope includes non-essential nutrients alongside extracts derived from animals, yeast and fungi, plants, and algae—materials widely represented in the contemporary supplement market. The book frames dietary supplementation through both potential benefits and possible drawbacks, offering a comparative foundation for considering how individual supplement types relate to human health. With 583 pages devoted to this varied subject area, it is structured as a substantial resource on ingredients, extracts, and their health-related implications rather than a general introduction to nutrition.
