Review: Countless dietary supplements are available today, although testing of these substances in the past has been haphazard with few official test methods. Good manufacturing practices require validated methods of analytical testing, and the first section of this book provides an industry overview of issues and problems in testing. The main section of the book is a collection of alphabetically arranged monographs detailing suitable methods for the commonest dietary supplements and botanical raw materials. Validation data are provided for each method and each monograph is supported by a list of references. The book provides an essential source of information for all involved in the dietary supplement industry.
