Advanced Nutrition: Macronutrients, Micronutrients, and Metabolism

Expanded and updated, the new edition of Advanced Nutrition: Macronutrients, Micronutrients, and Metabolism continues in the tradition of its predecessor, serving as an essential textbook for advanced undergraduate and first-year graduate students studying human nutrition.

The book incorporates fundamental concepts in nutrition science―while also acknowledging the contributions made by other sciences such as biochemistry, genetics, and physiology―in order to help us understand why specific nutrients are required. It provides comprehensive coverage of both macro and micronutrients, emphasizing each nutrient’s description, absorption, use, and excretion.
