Where Do I Buy Supplements? Grocery Store, Amazon, Health Foods Store or From My Doctor?
NEVER buy supplements on Amazon or eBay.
There are three main ways that supplements end up on the market at unbelievably cheap prices:
1. They are counterfeit and probably dangerous.
2. They are useless expired products that have been repackaged as new.
3. They are stolen products released on the black market without any quality control.
That’s why it is so important to buy directly from a legitimate manufacturer or from a trusted health practitioner whenever you can.
The FDA does not regulate supplements, so we prioritize sourcing products from reputable companies that conduct rigorous lab testing. Quality matters! Unlike supplements available at grocery or health food stores, our products are third-party tested to ensure their quality and efficacy. This extra step helps ensure you receive supplements that meet the highest standards of safety and effectiveness.
Professional supplement manufacturers work hard to make sure their products do not contain artificial ingredients, additives, excipients, allergens, etc. They also work to ensure the dosage is identical in every capsule.
Sometimes professional supplements offer therapeutic potencies not available in retail products. Furthermore, when you assess the amount of the key ingredients compared to the cost, a professional supplement may actually be a better value on a $/mg basis.
Professional supplements often include additional ingredients to help with absorption. A professional supplement manufacturer may choose a more expensive “source” for a component because it is known to be more bioavailable.
