Why Supplement Quality Matters
It is an understatement to simply say there is a wide variation in quality among dietary supplements. Many products found in a typical supplement store vary widely in effectiveness and purity. In contrast, professional-grade supplements are reliable to the consumer and deliver the intended product without the use of unnecessary fillers, allergens, or other added ingredients.
These supplements have been tested by an independent 3rd party laboratory to ensure the highest quality of active and inactive ingredients and to confirm that each dose delivers the intended amount of active ingredients. Standard over-the-counter vitamins found in grocery stores, health food stores, and chain retail pharmacies are not tested for quality, the accuracy of dose, or presence of contaminants.
Consumer-grade products are often not readily absorbed by the body and, in general, you need about four times the amount of a consumer-grade product to equal one serving size of a professional-grade product.
