ARE ALL VITAMINS THE SAME ???

 

"Which Vitamins should I take?" I ask my pharmasist sister.

She replyed "They are all the same, just uses Safeway brand" 

It was obvious she had a lot of practice handing out this advice. She works at Safeway and I thought this could make her just a little bit BIAS. Was it true or lip service?

I mean realy, all cars aren't the same, all houses aren't the same, all pizzas aren't the same. Why would all vitamins on the market be the SAME? What about QUALITY?  What about EFFECTIVENESS?  What about SAFETY?

I don"t think we should ever make assumtions in issues effecting our health. Some things are so important that only the best is good enough.

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS THE BEST PRODUCT? 

Months later I found the 3rd Edition of the Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements  where supplements were analyzed to see what was actualy in the bottle. Then they were ranked for quality.

What I found when I looked up Safeway products in the Comparative Guide was: There are 3 Safeway Select vitamins available in Canada & there rank 0.0, 3.7 and 4.7 out of 100%!

That isn't a typo. YES! Zero out of a 100, 3.7 out of 100, 4.7 out of 100!

"NO, ALL PRODUCTS ARE THE SAME!"

"IN FACT MOST ARE NOT WORTH THE COST OF THE BOTTLE!"

PHARMACEUTICAL GRADE PRODUCTS are the only way you can be garenteed you will be getting what you pay for.

REALITY CHECK, DROP YOUR EGO AT THE DOOR! 

HOW ARE YOU PICKING YOUR PRODUCTS?

... "HABIT" you buy the same stuff each month?
... "SALE" you buy product of the week?
... "RAMDOM" picking off the shelf?
... "SMORGUS BOARD STYLE" a little this & a little that?
... "FLAVOR OF THE MONTH" from what is in the media?
... "OUT OF OBLIGATION" to buying you business products?

WAKE UP PEOPLE!

IN TRUTH THERE IS ONLY ONE THING THAT MATTERS WHEN PICKING PRODUCTS "YOUR HEALTH"

READ ON....

HEADS UP!

You have to realise that the author Lyle MacWilliams and the reviewers of the book "Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements" have senior roles in the company USANA. This does make me wonder the reliability of the book. Can anyone help?

While it's important to recognise good from poor quality vitamins, it must be remembered that the best form of nutrient comes in the food we eat. -This, in turn, requires the understanding of the importance of a good diet. -Don't ever underestimate the vital life-saving qualities of good food.

About Abundant_Living_Services

In an indevors for my own families health, I ingaged in a journey looking for the facts on supplementation. This includes research in prevention and current health and wellness. I kept digging till I found the scientific facts behind the mixed messages that are out in the public. My ultimate goals was to find the products that I could have confidence in. I wanted proven rsults.


Dispite my long standing career in the front lines of health care I was amazed at what I found. The information handed out to me by the conventional system officails tended to be varied and often conflicting.


I was left with the burning desire to get to the bottom of it all and get the fact.


My hope in sharing my findings with you is that you will also be inspired to put your health as number one when shopping for products. My goals are to make you aware of how to judge quality and also make you wise to what is harmful out on the market. Ultmately I hope to it save you time, money and your health.


Anyone with questions please contact me lredman@usana.com, I would be happy to be of service.
