Renowned sports nutritionist Anita Bean takes you through each supplement and explains what they are, how to use them and if they really work - as well as suggesting other alternatives. Covering the most popular supplements on the market - from beetroot juice to creatine, caffeine to whey protein, this is the essential guide for anyone considering taking supplements."--Publisher's website.
