How To Find A Reputable Nutritional Supplement Company
The reason you check
the Multi-Vitamin of a company is that this will be the first and foundational product that a manufacturer will make and produce.
Every manufacturer knows that out of all the people that take Vitamins etc. that 70% of those people will take at least a
Multi-Vitamin Multi-Mineral product. So when a company cuts corners on their foundational product and say doesn't put in 100%
of BIOTIN.
The only reason is to increase their profit margin, but this is at your health’s
expense. Because BIOTIN cost about 20 to 25 times the cost of silver to produce many companies will cut the percentage of
this B-Vitamin and not supply 100%.
Another main point is that it needs adequate amounts of CALCIUM. Calcium, Magnesium,
and Phosphorus need to be in 1 to 1 ratio and in adequate amounts.
Then also check to see how many tablets or capsules is required to meet the amounts
listed on the label. Do you need to take 6 or 9 a day? Instead of say just two tablets daily.
Understand that if the
company you are buying a Multiple Vitamin from does not meet these guidelines for a Multi you can be sure they will cut corners
on the rest of their product line. Meaning their other Vitamins, Minerals, Herbal products, Proteins etc. will all be of inferior
quality.
Besides these quick checks for a quality product remember that a company should also be doing Peer reviewed,
Double blind, and placebo controlled Clinical research. These must also be done and then reviewed by outside or third parties
and not by their own in house scientists.
If they can prove the quality after all of these procedures they may possibly be
published into medical journals as proof positive of quality. Hear say, hype, and marketing do not make a quality product.
In fact the more advertising you see and hear about a product you can be sure they spent even less money on their products
raw materials.
So when you look for a quality product look first for a quality company. One that
is at least listed in the PGN or the (Physicians Guide to Nutrecuticals). This is where the really big boys and leaders in
the industry play. Click on HOT NEWS TOPICS to see the PGN or just click on any of the LINKS below.
You want proof, you want quality, look for the unmistakable LEADERS not the
followers and the WANNA BE’S.
Why this Company?
Dr. Neil Padgett, MD, Internal Medicine: “The reason that I have only recommended Shaklee to my patients is that
I have clinical, peer reviewed data included in the catalog that I can refer to. You have to have good clinical studies, good
double-blind peer reviewed studies in order to evaluate a product. As a medical professional that’s the only thing that
I’ll listen to. Except for Shaklee, I’m not aware of anyone who’s done in depth studies. It’s the
only company I’ve seen do it and that’s why it’s the only company I can professionally recommend.”
Dr. Linda Rodriguez, MD, Pediatrics: “As a physician and pediatrician, I demand scientific validation of the products
I use in my practice. Smart supplementation today means taking the right amounts with the right formulation and Shaklee has
made it so easy for us to do that now.”
Dr. Myron Winick, MD, Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons: “Shaklee Products are very well tested
both from a standpoint of efficacy and safety. I consider Shaklee’s study of bone loss and their product’s (Vita-Lea)
relationship to bone loss not only important from a standpoint of their product, but important from a standpoint of the scientific
community’s understanding of bone loss….. I think it’s very impressive that the Shaklee scientists are willing
not necessarily to go with the flow, but rather to go with the science.”
Dr. Annette Dickinson, PhD, Council for Responsible Nutrition: “You need to select a manufacturer that you can trust.
Unfortunately there are some unscrupulous entrepreneurs out there who will try anything and who are marketing street drug
knock-off or recreational drugs under the name of dietary supplements. One of our biggest problems today is that there are
some small manufacturers on the fringes of the industry who make products that don’t meet necessary standards and gives
a black eye to the whole industry. Quality companies, companies like Shaklee Corporation, are making a stand for quality products
and for truthful information and we believe that is very important.”
Dr. R. William Soller, PhD, Consumer Health Care Products Association: “Shaklee is a very important force at the
fore-front in terms of helping to cultivate the field of self-care.
Forouz Ertl, Botanicals International, one of the world’s leading suppliers of raw materials to major manufacturers
world-wide: “Shaklee has some rigourous standards that they actually initiated in the industry….Shaklee is definitely
our pickiest and most strict customer. They are very demanding and they have specifications beyond and above the specifications
set by our other customers. I think for a lot of customers, price is an issue when they are choosing botanicals, but I wish
they had the awareness about the quality of the botanicals and the quality of the brand before they make their decisions.
I tell my friends, that if they want to buy quality, they have to buy Shaklee’s grade.
Choose Health - Choose Quality - Choose the Best.
