I do believe that there are some very reputable supplement companies who make consistently good quality products - and not necessarily only most expensive. However I am very cautious, and do carefully check ingredients, sourcing, reviews etc when it's a company I am not familiar with.
Our family has had tremendous benefit from a variety of supplements over many years, |

An alternative is to seek the advice of what is called an Accredited Practicing Dietitian here. Some of them work in hospitals, designing diets which meet the needs of the patients in collaboration with their clinical colleagues.
Others work in private practice. I have taught APDs in their pre-clinical years.

Good thought process... Many soils are depleted, or chemical fertilizers and various sprays are used.. plus the harvesting , storage, practices.. before it gets to a store.. .
I try to read labels. See where things come from or produced.. Same for supplemts and vitamins.. And check brand ratings , purity etc..

Before trying a new supplement, I always check on potential interactions with other supps, or with RX or OTC meds, and also if it may be contraindicated for any issues.
One of the things I was taught during my studies was that just because something is "natural" doesn't mean it is harmless - and similarly, just because something is prescribed, doesn't mean it will not cause problems too. We need to keep ourselves well informed and make wise decisions. |
