Tips for Choosing Nutritional Supplements

Vitamins, minerals and other nutrients work best when they're combined in a way that mimics nature as closely as possible. Look for nutritional supplements that have nutrients combined to make use of the natural synergy between them.

Companies willing to give a full disclosure and description of their ingredients have usually put more effort and research into their product. For example, instead of just saying "Calcium" the label should be more detailed like this: "Calcium (from 2430 mg Citrate, Malate, Ester-C)". This description indicates that higher quality ingredients and more up-to-date research was used for the supplement.

Produced at pharmaceutical GMP (good manufacturing practices) facilities
In the United States, nutritional supplements are regulated as a food product rather than the more restrictive regulations that drugs fall under. Currently, compliance to GMP standards is voluntary so it's important to do your own research to verify that macro-biological testing is done at every stage of production to make sure that the lab did not contaminate the product.

(This issue shouldn't be taken lightly - studies by Consumerlab have shown that some supplements don't have the true amount of ingredients as stated on the label, or may harbor toxic contaminants.)

Pharmaceutical grade supplements (sometimes called nutriceuticals) are made for "professional" use in the health care field by natural health care providers and consumers who want the best.
