Body Wellness: Choosing the best supplements

In my earlier post: Body Wellness:  Supplementation we made an excellent case for daily supplementation.  But how do we go about choosing the best supplements? Here are a few of the challenges we face.

1.  With so many different brands on the market, it’s almost impossible to know which brand to choose.  And when we do choose, how do we really know what we’re getting?

2. Many doctors have not been properly trained in nutrition and preventative medicine and are unable to recommend one brand over another.

3. Without our doctor’s recommendation, do we rely on the clerk at the health food store or pharmacy to choose for us?

4.  Supplement manufacturers create wonderful warm fuzzy ads that lure us into believing that their product is the best.  But are they?

Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a definitive third party resource that rated supplements so that you could determine for ourselves which is the best? Well, believe it or not there is! But as usual, things that can help us to stay healthy and to make the best decisions to optimize our health are almost always kept a secret.  If we are serious about optimizing our health, to thrive, then we need to do some research before we choose our supplement brand.

A good place to start is  NutriSearch Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements (Consumer Edition for the United States and Canada).  This third party independent guide compares over 1500 supplements manufactured in the US and in Canada. It’s an easy read and the product ratings are a big eye opener as to which products are providing a good nutritional balance. Check it out and see for yourself how your product stands up!
