The Guide to Natural Products (GNP) is an excellent resource for NPs faced with patients taking multiple ”natural” supplements. This unique reference gives the health care provider the necessary information needed to make educated decisions about supplements, and other natural products.
The GNP index was not as complete as expected, it does not include vitamins and minerals. While vitamins and minerals are usually found in other medical references, it would have been nice for them to be included in this reference. Another omission is the lack of dosing information for products with accepted/standard doses.
The reference program provides clinically relevant information, including uses, side effects, and toxicology. The GNP details 120 popular natural products. This is available for $39.95 a year. For more information go to: Facts and Comparisons.
