"The Vitamon Solution is a worthwhile resource for information on vitamin supplements, their usages, and recommended dosages. —IndieReader, Indie Reader Approved Book
"If there was ever a Bible on vitamins and nutrition, The Vitamin Solution is it . . . I feel like I’m sitting down and talking with a couple of clued up friends. And it’s that tone that had me turning pages as fast as I do when reading an absorbing novel . . . So few doctors seem to know the first thing about nutrition, let alone about vitamins and minerals, what we need, how much, and how these elements affect our bodies and well-being. The Vitamin Solution dispels the myths and clarifies the grey areas with detailed information " —Viga Boland for Reader's Favorite - 5 Star Review
"This consumer guide to therapeutic vitamin use takes a welcoming, conversational approach to a clinical topic. Doctors Block and Levitan draw on their experiences with patients and have come to the conclusion that many common ailments, from depression to sleep problems to weight issues, can be eased (they are wisely careful to never say cured) by vitamin supplementation. Sections cover different health problems and the possible vitamin solutions. There is a 30-page listing of vitamins that highlights each individual vitamin, with easy bullet points of why one might take it. It bears noting that the authors sell their own supplements online, but this is not a sales-pitch book. This extremely user-friendly volume should find a home in the circulating health collections of most libraries.”
