Not all Supplements are created equal
Most people do not give much thought to the purchase of their nutritional supplements, assuming that they are basically the same. However, the quality of dietary supplements varies tremendously from manufacuturer to manufacturer. Unfortunetely, many products are not what they are represented to be.
So how can a consumer make an educated choice when purchasing the nutritional supplement that is right for them? With the assistance of their health care provider here at Mountain View Chiropractic & Wellness Center, our trusted staff of nutritionist, naturopath and chiropractors can recommend products with which they have confidence based on consistent and effective clinical results.
Nutrient Availability
Many nutrients can oxidize or lose their potency, some quicker than others. Therefore, it is important that manufacturers buy these ingredients in small lots which can be quickly processed and made readily available to the consumer. Manufacturers who buy these raw materials in large lots, in an effort to cut costs, may store them for longer periods of time, resulting in less effective products.
The FDA does not monitor the contents or purity of nutrional supplement industries poorly regulated manufacturing. This may result in instances of either label claims not being met, or substances being included that are not claimed.
Mountain View Chiropractic & Wellness Center relies on Biotics Research Corporation because they test every supplement on site, using state of the art laboratory methods to check for digestibility, approve raw materials and monitor production processes, including the testing of finished products prior to their release. Biotics Research produces each product in isolated rooms to avoid cross contamination and to maintian the purity of each product, ensuring that what is claimed on the label is actually what the consumer gets.
