Purity of supplements???

CP-

unfortunatley there are many supplements on the market that we don't know how pure they really are.  I learned this from my naturalpath about 10 years ago. I know there's been alot of issues with Co Q10, especially.  I know the brand "NOW" is ruputable and has recently won an award.  My naturalpath and local healthfood store like their products.  A site that Dr. Oz says to use to check out supplement companies is www.consumerlab.com.  Also was told that VitaminShoppe brand products are good. 

I used to sell vitamins at a Whole Foods-type store and can verify that NOW is good. I also really trust Source Naturals, Jarrow, Natural Factors and New Chapter. For fish oil, Carlson is the gold standard.

Awilda,

I used to use the Shaklee products years ago and was very satisfied with them, but got away from them

I would love to know your b/c status and if the list you offered is what you personally take.

Thanks,

Pam-

I know there were a few GNC products that were questional, don't remember which products specifically.  But I do recall reading in one of the John Hopkins ask an expert forums stating that when they tested GNC's broccoli sprout supplements they did not contain broccoli but alphalfa sprouts. 

Awilda ~  You may want to check further re. using soy protein now that you have been dx w/bc.  I have used Shaklee products for 25+ years (so know their quality), but reluctantly gave up the soy protein after seeing that multiple experts, including those @ UCLA say that while some soy products are okay, those that have been processed or altered -- specifically soy powder and soy milk -- are definitely to be avoided.    Deanna
