Many people who visit pharmacies want to buy or are already taking some form of dietary supplement. This series includes supplements either that are commonly sold in pharmacies and those which have attracted recent media interest, possibly resulting in the public wanting further information about them.

Each monograph covers the actions, possible uses, adverse effects, precautions and interactions, and is intended to be an aide-memoire for pharmacists advising their customers and patients. However, it should be emphasised that these monographs are summaries only, and readers who want more in-depth information, particularly details of research studies providing evidence on the use of these supplements, should consult other texts.

The series is written by Dr Pamela Mason (a pharmacist with a postgraduate qualification in nutrition)
