description: "Advanced Acclaim for: Sports Supplement Encyclopedia; "The Supplement Encyclopedia categorizes and simplifies complex subjects into effective integrated supplement strategies designed to safely help you reach your athletic goals. Drs. Stout and Antonio have done a masterfu job capturing and summarizing the latest supplement research." (Mark Verstegen, Founder and Director, Athletes' Performance, Tempe Arizona) "I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Jose Antonio in the past and can attest to the fact that he is one of the leading experts in the field of sports nutrition. When Dr. Antonio speaks, smart athletes listen. The Sports Supplement Encyclopedia should be a part of every athlete's library." (Lee Labrada, Founder and President of Labrada Nutrition, Houston Texas) "Once again, Drs. Stout and Antonio have assembled an excellent team of scientists and in-the-trenches experts to provide an excellent resource for the bodybuilding and high-performance athlete." (Eric Serano, M.D., Associate Clinical Professor, Ohio State University) "When I first heard that Joey Antonio, Jeff Stout, and John Berardi (takl about an all-star line-up!) were collaborating on a sports supplement and nutrition book, I knew the industry was finally going to have its own unbiased gold standard, its version of the PDR or Merck Index - one that researchers and consumers alike could refer to again and again." (TC Luoma, Editor-in-Chief, Testosterone magazine) [from the book of the back cover]
