Does Supplement Brand Matter?
 
I'm looking into Natures Best at the moment for most things:

http://www.naturesbest.co.uk/

Not sure if anyone has recommendations for high quality makes?

Is Dr's best any good?



Thanks!

Your product has an interesting quality page....
http://www.naturesbest.co.uk/product...-gmp-aproduct/

That seems similar to the quality pages we have in US.

You want quality, dependability, affordability, and response to consumers questions.

The page looks okay to me so far.

Yes. I do believe brand does matter, on some things more than others, and not always the most expensive it best, but there are some brands that are better, pure and simple.

I wish it was as easy as choosing one company for all supplements but it isn't. I use many brands.

I don't use natures best for anything but I do use Dr's Best for a few things and I like it, however not for everything. I use to use Dr's Best benfotiamine but switched to another more expensive but for me better brand.

IME it depends on what/which supplements you're talking about. We have a mental list of brands and vendors we'll use for different things, and then shop price among those brands/vendors when we need to order something. It's worked well for us—we can usually save ~25-30% over a year. We do make use of Puritan's yearly sales (like now—buy 2/get 3 free—ends Tues) when it makes sense to. Their stuff is generally high/overpriced, so we still go through the whole shopping exercise.

Supplements are one of the businesses/markets where the consumer can actually make out fairly well because there are so many competitors vying for the same business.
