CUSTOMER COMMENTS

Lindsay McCoy: "Learning more about the structure/function of nutraceuticals increased my confidence when clients ask questions based on random tidbits they read online."

Sarah Hallaj: "The information was valuable as the authors not only discussed the benefits of each of the functional food but also, included the biochemistry and nutrient interaction for better and more thorough understanding."

Jessica Bean: "I appreciated that this education is up-to-date, relevant to current trends, references literature and suggests therapies to recommend to our clients. I loved having the Tables to reference also."

Valerie McKelvey: "I feel more confident to present detailed interventions to patients with specific rationale, not generalizations, i.e., eat the rainbow." Most of the public is aware fruits and vegetables are good for you."
