I've read of many folks and I myself experience the new 'sensitivities' one can acquire about anything and everything in the way of foods, ingestives or topicals? I guess the best one can do is READ the labels and eliminate the seeming offenders and allow others in the door to 'try' and see.
We do seem to become 'fussy' tho. Don't we?

In chosing supplements, choose a brand that has GMP on the label. Examples are NOW, NatureMade, and Puritan's pride.

In choosing toothpaste and other sundries, stay with name brands and do not buy at dollar stores off brands.

A generic company that is good is Perrigo.

We can never be totally sure of anything these days with China running amok. Also big business buying off the FDA is not great either.

Supplements have changed my life. So I continue to use them.
If I notice anything "off" with me, I look carefully at what I am taking. So far in my 60+yrs it has been an RX drug that caused me grief. Either wrong choice or too high a dose has been my experience.
