Choosing Quality Supplements

  • Summary

  • Send us a text

    The supplement industry is a vast, nearly $200 billion global market that varies widely in quality, benefit, and risks. While supplements can significantly aid in achieving health goals such as improving fitness, rebalancing nutrient deficiencies, and eliminating harmful microbes, they are not a cure-all solution. It's crucial to use them strategically and aim to reduce dependence on them over time.

    Choosing the right supplements is essential, as low-quality products can be ineffective or even harmful. Consumer-grade supplements, often found in local stores and online, may contain proprietary blends, synthetic nutrients, fillers, and hidden ingredients that are inconsistently dosed and potentially contaminated. On the other hand, pharmaceutical-grade supplements, available through reputable suppliers, are stringently tested for purity, bioavailability, and accurate dosing, ensuring a higher and safer quality.

    When purchasing supplements online, it's important to buy directly from manufacturers or verified suppliers to avoid counterfeit products. Third-party certifications such as NSF, Non-GMO Project Verified, and US Pharmacopeia can help identify high-quality supplements. Remember, supplements should be used as necessary, much like medications, to support the body's natural healing processes.
