Description
Personally, I think you need to look at making sure the GI system is okay before going too far with vitamins, minerals, herbs, etc. Fermented foods and probiotic home-made yogurts, as well as prebiotics, are a pretty good start. Healthy gut bacteria should help to produce many of the things mentioned in this book, such as B vitamins.
Some things like Fish Oil I would think nearly everyone should take. But all the other things in these types of books are perhaps more use occasionally then as a life-long pill-popping regime. Unless you are big on expensive urine (or Posh Piss to the more vulgar)...
I'm not sure that anyone can be healthy without adequate vitamin D levels - most people are probably chronically deficient. I did find it a bit odd that this book doesn't really mention Vitamin D much at all... And are synthetic vitamins actually absorbed anywhere near as well as naturally occurring ones?
As an alternative look at food and mood, this book is very good:
"Gut and Psychology Syndrome By Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride"
