Additional Quality Considerations
Product
manufactured according to standards. A top-quality supplement is
manufactured
according to the strict standards of the Australian Therapeutic
Goods Administration, United States
Pharmacopeia, and the proposed
Food & Drug
Administration's Current Good Manufacturing
Practice Guidelines.
Non-allergenic.
Supplements with food colourings such as tartrazine are a common
source of
allergy problems.
Many "natural" supplements come from food sources such as corn, soy,
yeast, dairy,
or egg,
which may cause allergy problems. We
stock only the most allergy-free products available.
Highest purity.
Some supplement manufacturers try to save money by adding cheap
fillers, including
lactose, sucrose, hydrated aluminium silicate, modified corn starch,
sodium chloride, or sand.
Binders,
lubricants, and disintegrators might include talc, soap,
rancid oils, shellac, tree sap,
polyethylene glycol, waxes, or corn starch. If a product does not
have a lab analysis to prove
its purity, we utilize our extensive knowledge of the supplement
industry to determine
whether these impurities may be present. |
