Vitamin Basics

Rest Assured:  Over the years, I have seen how confusing it can be for patients to evaluate the quality of supplements on their own. The companies I recommend, after extensive nutrient research reviews and product searches, follow strict guidelines for highest quality and most bioavailable raw ingredients, and regularly assay their products to confirm that what is on the label is exactly what is in the product. Professional lines are only available through health care providers to ensure that the patient is using supplements and dosages appropriate for them.

Much of the information you get via the mainstream media about vitamins that is negative is because the brands they are studying are commercial not professional brands, are poorly made, are not absorbable, are the wrong forms or often don’t even contain the active ingredients for which you are buying them! These companies have done their homework to stay on top of the emerging science.

The vitamin industry is not regulated. Professional brands voluntarily subject themselves to all sorts of tight standards and extra screenings that are not specifically required by law.

I have done my homework so that you can have confidence in the supplements you take and give to your family. I trust you will be as satisfied as I am. These are the very same products that I use myself, and with my own family and friends.*
