Please Be Careful When Buying Supplements!
I have spent countless
hours over the past 30 years researching what is safe and effective. Admittedly, there is a lot of controversy in mainstream
medicine about the value and safety of nutritional supplements and has been for many years. The New England Journal of Medicine
recently called the natural supplement industry 'American Roulette.' The truth about supplements is that there is good a lot
of good, if you know how to use the 'system', there is bad and there is ugly. The bad is that impotent or bogus products will
not be helpful. The ugly is that they may be seriously harmful. Here is a link to the ugly:

The problem here is that the manufacturer did not following
good clinical practice by testing the finished product. Unfortunately, this has become more and more common.For most of my
professional career, I had recommended that my patients go to the health food store for their supplements. However, in 1994
Congress passed the DSHEA law that forbid the FDA from blocking the sale of natural supplements unless they could first prove
that they were unsafe. This changed everything. First, we were allowed to chose what we wanted to support our health and wellbeing.
Second, it opened the natural supplement industry to make available things that the FDA formerly would have blocked and third,
It opened the industry to venture capitalists. Many small companies, that were started by the hippie generation to provide
pure, potent and authentic products for health minded people, were bought out for the purpose of making money. The industry
become very competitive. Companies started to cut corners to maintain profits. Quality assurance suffered because it is costly
and transparent. Transparent until something like the above article reports. For these reasons I only recommend that you purchase
supplements from manufacturers that have integrity. I recommend only companies that I know would be safe for my family and
me.The products will cost a little more and we will all be able to enjoy the benefits without any side effects. In case that
you are unaware, it has been estimated that 1/3 of all supplements come from China and much of the rest comes from other 3rd
world counties. The profit motive is paramount thus leading to adulteration with lead, mercury, etc because these products
are sold by weight and these contaminants cost far less than the intended ingredients.Please be careful with your health,
the fleeing benefit of a bargain will be quickly forgotten if you are struggling with health issues due to the poor quality
of the purchase.
