How to Find High Quality Health Supplements: Buyer Beware!

If you are interested in health and wellness at all you know that the supplement industry is exploding. The truth is that people are sick and tired of being sick and tired. They are looking for answers beyond their doctor’s office. Most of them look to supplementing their diet as a first intervention. The problem with this is the lack of quality health supplements that consumers are taking.

So how do you know if you are buying a high quality health supplement?

Well the truth is that most of the health supplements you can buy at your local grocery store or department store were made in China. Needless to say they do not have a very good track record on the quality of their products. There was a recent scandal in which adulterated wheat gluten from China led to the deaths of thousands of pets in North America and other instances of food and toothpaste tampering.

This is not exactly what you are thinking about when you are looking for a health supplement to improve your health. So you are probably thinking I guess I will start reading the labels. Well that will not help. U.S. laws do not require food and drug sellers to label products with ingredients country of origin. It is literally impossible to know where your food supplements are coming from.

The good news is that you can find quality supplements out there. You probably should stay away from retail stores if you do not want supplements that were produced in another country.

There are companies in the United States that adhere to good manufacturing practices on their own. These practices are for human foods recommended by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

How do you find these companies that produce high quality health supplements?

You have to do your research. I know that is not what most of you want to here but it is the truth. An easy way to get started on this is to look at MLM and network marketing companies that have supplements. Most of these companies will have a much higher quality of supplement than you will find in any store.

The best thing about buying from a MLM or network marketing company is that you will be buying from a representative that can give you all the information you need about the quality. Here are some points to check out about the supplement and the manufacturing:

- Is there current research being done on the effectiveness of the supplement?

- What kind of quality assurance does the company have in place?

- What product testing is done to validate high quality?

- Is there a safety monitor system in place?

If you can get these questions answered you will be on your way to purchasing a high quality health supplement. You are probably thinking that this is too much work just to find a supplement. The truth of the matter is that your health cannot be replaced like your car and house. I am guessing that you probably did some research before you purchased both of those items.
