Which company to buy supplements from?

 

Which company to buy supplements from?
 
My previous blog answered the question of which supplements one should take:, Omega 3 FA's, Probiotics and an organic whole food supplement.
But how do you know which company to buy from? Here are a few questions you should ask when considering buying any product:
 
1. Is it in it's natural form or is it biochemically altered? When has man ever improved upon nature? NEVER! Only buy products that are in their natural
form.
2. Does it mimic something that the healthiest humans (hunters and gatherers) consumed? If it does not resemble something humans eat in nature how
can it be superior to so better than a genetically compatible natural product?
3. Is the supplement essential? In other words how likely is it that you are deficient in it?
4. Can you get the product through reasonable dietary alterations? If yes then I always altering the diet first, this is the most cost effective method and
you'll get all the necessary co-factors when you consume whole foods.
5. Is there a BODY of RESEARCH showing the product is superior to other products? This is very important if the product is not found in it's natural
forms and has been altered by humans. Be sure the product has been show effect in valid clinical trials and the results have been compared to similar
products. Most products find studies that show a products has shown beneficial effects and then the company goes about trying to make a superior product.
The actual product is often rarely tested in clinical trials. Also the claims of "superior" are rarely associated with improved health and function.
6. Does the product combine two or more ingredients and claim superiority? If the product claims to be better because it added ingredients or biochemical
alterations, ask yourself if these ingredients would have been found together in nature and if our health ancestors consumed these things together. Is there
a BODY of evidence that showing the difference in results with the "improvements" compared to no "improvements"?
 
When ever there is a company raving that they have created a product that is superior to naturally occurring products be cautious. Most of their studies will likely show how
their product was successful in altering a symptom, but that rarely has anything to do with improved function or health and almost NEVER compares
its to results with natural occurring products in terms of total amounts of ingredients. Often a company will show their products compared to another
products but they will often not be in equal amounts, thus claiming their product is superior in "treating the symptom". Treating a symptom has NOTHING
to do with improving function or creating health!
