Best Health Supplements -
Get Your Money's Worth!

You may be thinking,

"I want to use the best health supplements, but I don't think there is any way to know what a supplement's quality is."

Yet I've found it really isn't that difficult...

For a health supplement to be "best" for you, it has to have three important traits.

• It should be high quality.
  
• It should provide needed nutrients to enable you to overcome your personal health challenges.
  
• It should be the most affordable supplement that has the first two traits.

Let's explore these traits in more detail.

Quality Supplements
-Widely Available!

It is true the FDA doesn't regulate supplements, and there have been instances where some companies have not put the stated amount of ingredients in a supplement. Unfortunately, some companies do sell contaminated or inferior products.

However, if you will follow basic guidelines for finding quality supplements, these problems can be avoided and you can be confident you are using the best health supplements for you.

Three Approaches to Finding Quality Suplements:
Approach One: Be Pragmatic

• Research nutrients needed to meet the health challenges you face.
  
• Follow the recommendations of the newsletters and researchers who explain which supplements will enable your body to overcome those challenges.

  One such organization that publishes a magazine monthly about cutting edge research is Life Extension Foundation.
  

• Look for companies that offer at least a ninety day satisfaction guarantee on their products, and preferably a lifetime guarantee.
  
• Document your health improvements when using the supplements. If there are none, return the supplement for a refund. For more information on this see my "Do Supplements Work" page.
  
• Ask your doctor for supplement recommendations that might solve your health challenges, before accepting prescription drug treatments.
  
• When buying supplements, look for a quality assurance seal on the bottle. As illustrated to the right. This tells you that strict manufacturing processes were used to create the supplements.
  
• When you find supplements that have boosted your health, look for other supplements you need made by the same company.
  
  For Example: Three companies I've always received quality supplements from are:
  • Planetary Formulas, (They produce a lot of herbal products.)
    
  • Nutraceutical Sciences Institute.(I get a lot of my vitamins and amino acids from them.)
    
  • Life Extension Foundation (I get several different supplements from them.)


• Be sure there is an expiration date stamped on the bottle so that you know the supplements are fresh. Please note the example below.

Approach Two: Research Intensively

Since most supplement manufacturers want your business. They will cooperate with you, but you will have to take the time to go through this process for every supplement you want to take.

My concern is that you might not be willing take the time, thereby missing the tremendous help good supplements can provide you.

Approach Three: Join A Trusted Organization
Let them Research for You

If you go this route, they will do the research for you, and you'll have access to quality supplements at discounted prices.

Consumer Labs is another such organization. They are continually testing supplements for purity and quality.

The problem with this organization is, the membership costs money, but they don't have the time to test the vast majority of supplements that are available, and they don't make any supplements themselves.

As with option two, the end result may well be you'll fail to use many supplements that might most help you.

Although any of these approaches will work, the first is the most reasonable and practical. It has always worked well for me.

But, quality is only the first trait needed in the best health supplements. Additionally, it must contain...

Nutrients Your Body Needs

An example is any fat soluble vitamin, like Vitamin A, D, or E. An overdose of these vitamins is toxic.

This whole site is geared to help you find the best health supplements to help you overcome any health challenge. By clicking on the health challenge you're facing, you'll find the supplements that will best help your body heal.

If you don't see your health challenge addressed currently, please sign up for the blog page, so you'll know when I do write about it, or better yet ask your question here, so I can research and write about it as soon as possible.

That way both you and others benefit.

Best Health Supplements
High Quality, Yet Affordable

Some people say you should buy all your supplements from one company, but none produces such a wide range of products that your needs will always be met.

When you're sure the product you're buying is a good quality product, choose the most affordable one.

I have gotten good results buying many of my supplements from Vitamin World or Vitacost. Both have actual stores in some locations, but I do most of my shopping via the internet.

I won't tell you they have the highest quality supplements on the market. In fact, that is why you need to track the results of the supplements you use.

I've bought a supplement I regularly use from Vitacost and had it not work, but I've just never bought that brand again.Most of the supplements I've bought from them have been fine.

If you buy supplements from discount suppliers such as Vitacost or Vitamin World, and they don't seem to work, try to get the same supplement from a higher quality supplier such as Life Extension, or from the Healthy Living Network, before assuming the supplement won't help you.

I've bought supplements from many different companies, and I'm sure I'll continue to do so. These are just a few affordable examples I've been satisfied with overall. When more economical supplements improve your health, they are the best health supplements for you, unless you have so much money price isn't a concern.

Final Considerations:

But perhaps you're thinking...

"I already know what's best for me, I'd just like to share it with others".
