Are The Supplements You Are
Taking, Safe?
Many of the ingredients found in
discount lines of nutritional supplements come from India and
China where regulatory controls are severely lacking.
Independent laboratory analysis reveals significant differences
in purity and potency between herbs and vitamins from sources
like China and India vs. sources like Europe, Japan, and the
U.S. Arsenic, lead, mercury, and bacteria are commonly found in
herbal and vitamin products from poorly regulated countries. But
even some manufacturers who purchase raw materials from
dependable sources will then add manufacturing lubricants like
stearic acid and magnesium stearate derived from beef, palm oil,
or cottonseed oil. These lubricants are not soluble in our
bodies and they can interfere with absorption and promote
allergic reactions over time. Shellac is often used, listed as
"pharmaceutical glaze" or "film glaze." Mineral oils or refined
vegetable oils containing disease-promoting "trans fats" are
often added. The list goes on to include potential allergens
like zein, talc, Propylene Glycol (antifreeze), and dyes.
At Health Naturals, virtually all of the nutritional supplements
and a herbs we sell are manufactured with the highest quality
and safety standards in the world. This also applies to all of
our aromatherapy products, shampoos, lotions, and oral hygiene
products. Whatever you put on your skin or in your mouth can get
into your bloodstream -- therefore chemical fragrances,
petroleum byproducts, and potential allergens should be avoided.
We here at
Health Naturals have spent much research time sifting through
the clever marketing tactics, media politics, and conflicting
research findings that permeate the natural health product
industry. Our ongoing endeavors in
this regard continue to ensure that Health Naturals will
remain the preferred choice for safe, effective, economical, and
properly utilized nutritional supplements and natural health
products.
Why take unnecessary risks in safety and efficacy just to save a
few dollars? Ironically, many people think they are saving money
by buying the cheapest vitamins but this is rarely true. For
example, cheap forms of calcium from oyster shell and calcium
carbonate can cost half as much as calcium citrate-malate but
are 5-10 times less absorbable. Some of the less expensive
calcium products have also had the most trouble with lead and
other heavy metal contamination. Similarly, many people have
wisely started using "probiotics" like acidophilus to promote
intestinal health. However, an independent analysis revealed
that only 3 out of 12 "probiotics" actually contained what their
labels claimed. Health Naturals only recommends probiotics that
have an independent certification of what their labels claim.
There are many other examples that indicate the importance of
obtaining full disclosure about the supplements you use. Why not

want an excellent multi-vitamin formula or you have a cupboard
