When you go to the vitamin store or vitamin section of your grocery store, how do you pick your nutritional supplement? By brand? Best label? Best price….cheapest?
After all, how should you select the best one? Who tells you which one is best and where can you validate that information.
Being the industry that it is, the nutritional supplement industry is the most unregulated industry out there. As long as products are made to food-grade quality, they can put it on a shelf and sell it.
But there are some exceptional companies that produce their nutritional supplements at a pharmaceutical grade, so by law, what’s on the label is in the bottle.
To give you a great analogy, it’s like comparing pizza to penicillin. Which one would you trust to your health!
This post was inspired by a recent Health Nugget by Dr Ray Strand and he talks about why the cheapest supplements aren’t always a good option and that you get what you pay for. Below is his recent Health Nugget:
Health Nugget by Dr Ray Strand
“Early in my career, I remember telling my patients who were set on taking supplements to just take the cheapest ones they could find. The reason I made this comment was that I really did not believe that supplements had any value anyway, so why not just buy the cheapest ones? At least, they would not cost my patients too much money. In contrast, now that I realize all of the health benefits my patients can receive by taking supplements, I want to be sure that they receive high-quality products.
One of the greatest frustrations in becoming a specialist in nutritional medicine is that I work with such an unregulated market. The FDA looks at nutritional supplements the same way it looks at foods. This entire industry is really not regulated, and a nutritional company can pretty much put any amount of nutrients in their tablets. In other words, the amount stated on the label is not necessarily what is in the tablet. Unless a nutritional company voluntarily produces its nutritional supplements in a pharmaceutical-grade method, the consumer has no assurance that what is on the label is in the tablet. Why sell your health to the lowest bidder? Taking high-quality, complete and balanced nutritional are the least expensive health insurance policy you will ever purchase.”
