One of the major problems in the supplement industry is that when supplements get tested, often it's the case that the amount of a given ingredient is far lower or far greater than what's reported on the bottle.

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

it is important that the supplements that you take have a high level of stringency with respect to the amounts of the contents that are listed on the bottle matching what's actually in the bottle, in the capsules and tablets, and that the quality of those ingredients be extremely high.
But if you are going to take supplements, it's important that you take supplements from a source that's reputable and which the ingredients are very high quality and in which the amount of the ingredients that listed on the bottle actually matches what's in the bottle.
If you're going to use supplements, it's very important that the supplements you use be of very high quality, and that the quantity of ingredients that are on the label match what's actually in those bottles.
One of the really important things, if you're going to take supplements, is that the supplements be of the highest quality ingredients and that the amount of those ingredients that's listed on the label actually matches what is in those supplements.
if you're going to use supplements, you want to make sure that those supplements are of the very highest quality. For that reason, we've partnered with Thorne, T-H-O-R-N-E, because Thorne supplements are of the very highest quality and the amounts of ingredients listed on the label of Thorne supplements precisely matches what is actually contained in those capsules, bottles and pills and powders and so forth.
But if you are going to use supplements, it's imperative that the supplements be of the very highest quality.
It is important however, that if you're going to use supplements that they be a very high quality and that you can trust that the amounts of supplement listed on the supplement bottle are actually what's contained in the bottle. That's a serious issue with a lot of supplements out there.
One key issue any time there's a discussion about supplements, you have to be sure that the supplements you are taking are of the very highest quality.
many supplement companies out there list amounts of particular substances on the bottle, and when they've been tested, they do not match up to what's actually in those products.
It's really important that if you're going to take supplements, that they be of the absolute highest quality.
And that is not true for all supplement companies.
First of all, those supplements should be of the very highest quality. And you want to make sure that what's listed on the bottle is actually what's in the bottle, which is a problem for any supplement companies out there.
and that you make sure the company has integrity, that they've third-party tested for the purity and the potency, meaning if it says 1,000 units on the label, it's 1,000 units, not 10,000 or 2,000-- and that it hasn't had any cross-contamination with additives or chemicals.
so if people are taking supplements they should be very aware of the quality of those supplements
if it's a supplement I would ask how can we control for Purity right how do we know that what what the bottle says is in it is actually what's in it and that nothing that's not supposed to be in it isn't in it
if it's a supplement I would ask how can we control for Purity right how do we know that what what the bottle says is in it is actually what's in it and that nothing that's not supposed to be in it isn't in it
as i mentioned there are a lot of supplements that are pure crap that don't have what they say they have in fortunately i'm well i'm not aware of of any of those that are well i shouldn't say that i am aware of some of them that are widely sold and and probably people are taking
But any of the larger companies, they're actually going to have pretty good quality control. And they are, if you look at those, the ones that are the bigger companies that are on the shelf, they are almost always right on target for what they should be.
