New edition of nutraceuticals book published
 A second edition of ‘Nutraceuticals’ is now available from the Pharmaceutical Press (the Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s book publishing imprint).
The text assesses the medical and scientific evidence for the use of
nutraceuticals — complementary medicines of natural origin — in
the prevention and treatment of important disease states.
The publisher says that the international market for nutraceuticals has
been rapidly expanding, with new research leading to new products, some
with novel therapeutic applications.
The new edition reflects these changes and its coverage has broadened
to include monographs on 25 nutraceuticals, including soy and tea, plus
discussion of nutraceuticals according to disease state, with additional
chapters on synergism and combination therapies, on safety, adverse effects
and interactions, on quality issues and on minor nutraceuticals.
Written by Brian Lockwood, senior lecturer in the School of Pharmacy
and Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Manchester, the book
is aimed at practising pharmacists, other health care professionals and
complementary medicine practitioners.
The 448-page hardback book costs £39.95. UK orders can be placed
by telephone (01767 604 971), fax (01767 601 640) or e-mail rps@turpin-distribution.com)

Press website
