Whether you're a professional athlete, weightlifter, sports enthusiast, or just beginning to work out, you've probably thought about using supplements to enhance your training or hasten recovery from injuries. But one look at the supplement section at the health food store or at your gym may have given you second thoughts. There are so many sports supplements available today: protein powders, amino acids for muscle building, fat-burner nutrients,, and so on. You may have wondered, do I really need to take supplements? Which ones should I take? And how do I know the good one from the not-so-good ones? This book will help you sort through the overwhelming array of sports supplements and come up with a supplement regimen to fit your specific needs and goals. For the active person, it is vital to maintain a good nutrient intake to avoid basic nutritional deficiencies, help prevent injuries, promote the health of specific body systems, and accomplish training goals such as building muscle mass or burning fat. "The Sports Supplement Buyer's Guide" provides a unique integrated approach to supplmentation for athletes, including essential nutrients for building a strong body and supplements for specific fitness goals: fat loss, muscle builing, increased endurance, and hormone control.

 Best Ever on Sport Supplements
Could not put this book down once I started reading it. Talk about a most comprehensive book on sport supplements, this book is the best ever. It certainly satisfied my curiosity about the many misconceptions in the supplement industry. Many of the research publications are too technical for the average reader but this book is an easy read and will clarify any question one has about the incredible amount of supplements available in this indusry. I consider the recommendations made about selecting certain companies and their products is a highlight of the book. This is a 5-star book that is certainly underpriced.

 Nothing new
This book contains very basic information and doesn't review any products. It talked in generalities and the majority of products that are mentioned are iSatori, which is affiliated with the author.

Great Guide!
It has everything anyone needs to know about supplements. What works and what doesn't. Anyone that plays sports or lifts weights can greatly benefit from this book.

Very Comprehensive and Useful
This book is one of the best, research based, and easy to read guides on sports supplements ever written. I have read several other books on this subject but this one puts it all together with user friendly "need to know" information. As an avid runner, I especially liked the useful sports programs in the back of the book. I also loved the information about choosing the right company to buy supplements from since there are so many guys out there making crazy claims and its hard to figure out who to trust. I think this book is essential to anyone involved in fitness or athletics.

Extremely valuable to the avid athlete
This book contains extremely pertinent information on supplements that athletes commonly use. I am currently in the process of training for my next triathlon and have found a lot of information contained in this book extremely valuable. My workouts consist of swimming, cycling, running, and power lifting, and it has been very difficult to find the exact supplements needed to support this regimen. Adele and Jalali have taken very technical information and translated into easy to understand terms for people that don't have a biology/chemistry based educational background without compromising communicating the details of how the human body functions with respect to the given supplement.
I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking to use supplements to support their workout regimen. With a slough of information all over the internet, this book can be a single "go to" reference for someone looking for information without all getting caught up with all the misinformation online.
