Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Dietary Supplements of Plant Origin gives both general and specialized readers a comprehensive overview on plant-based dietary supplements, concentrating on those found in the European market. It examines industrial plants as supplement sources, and discusses drug-like compounds derived from food plants and spices, as well as the biotechnology of plant-derived dietary supplements. It also details the biochemistry, physiology, and bioengineering of various bioactive compounds from plants and looks at the interaction of herbs with other medicines, using the example of St. John's Wort. A chapter offering resources for botanical dietary supplements provides a vehicle for further exploration.
MoreLong description:
Dietary supplements are estimated to be used regularly by almost 60% of the American population, and over 300 million people worldwide. An important and ever-growing portion of this market is in botanical supplements that are derived from natural plants. Natural, however, does not necessarily mean safe, and although plants can provide health-essential and health-improving nutrients they can also provide toxic compounds. While the use and sales of botanical supplements continues to expand rapidly, scientific understanding of the efficacy and safety of these products remains limited.
The aim of Dietary Supplements of Plant Origin is to give both the general and specialized reader a comprehensive insight into the most recent findings in this interesting area of dietary supplementation. It is hoped that this book will shed a new light on this topic and impact positively upon the health of people in this new millennium.
"Each chapter has extensive citations. ? There is plenty of information ? that is useful. Recommended."
