Help me help myself

Okay, basically I feel like my knowledge of the body is pretty average at best and my knowledge of supplements/chemicals is even worse. I want to learn exactly what processes my body goes through and what happens when supplements/chemicals are introduced so what I'm wondering is are there any good books out there that can help me out?

I'll say that I haven't spent a whole lot of time looking for books but I figure someone on here would know of a few good ones that I can then check out instead of me potentially blowing money on a 'dud'.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Try Advanced Nutrition and the Human Metabolism by Jack L. Smith.

Its somewhat complicated and quite expensive, but well worth it. I found one relatively cheap on ebay.

For what it appears to be it's not all that expensive imo (£35 here). Thanks for the suggestion idunk!

Yeah that's the one I've just ordered now, the other one almost caught me out but I had another look around and found the book by J.Smith.

Anyone else got suggestions?
