Ultimate Nutrient

By Judy Shabert

For the sailor, swimmer, diver, fisherman, and armchair naturalist, here are tales and useful facts about the dangerous creatures found in the oceans of the world. This book is a survey of all the sea creatures that instil dread in the hearts of humans. Edward Ricciuti, a science writer with a passion for scuba diving and oceanographic expeditions, has swum eye-to-eye with a killer whale, flippered around with dolphins, tagged and captured sharks and had numerous tense exchanges with barracuda, moray eels and stingrays.

Customer Reviews

Non-essential...HA, don't believe it.

Shabert and Erlich do a great job of explaining how this little amino acid is sooooo essential. They are brave to include in their title the words "non-essential" because some people don't read thoroughly and might miss out on a good, thorough explanation of how important this glutamine really is. After gaining a better understanding via this book, I did a search on-line for someplace that sold the product. I found iHerb to offer the best service and several choices of glutamine. Now, I am including glutamine in my diet for more balance in my amino-acid intake.

Glutamine, Plain and simple

This book does not try to complicated, and for the average person trying to learn about Glutamine, this is an excellent book. It is simple and to the point, but with lots of reference to back it up. I think anyone would be happy with it.
