Why the cost of high-quality supplements is worth it

Why the cost of high-quality supplements is worth it.

A few years ago when I started a supplement program, I thought the health food stores and herb stores as opposed to the pharmacies, Walmart, and grocery stores had the better supplements. So, these are what I started taking in hopes they would help me get rid of some of my symptoms and start to feel better.  But after taking these herbs and vitamins for a few weeks, I still had most of my symptoms and still not feeling good.

I kept searching and eventually was introduced to some supplements, although a little higher in cost, did work. I was more than willing to pay a little more for supplements that were good quality and were proven to do what they said they would do.

I found out that the supplements that I was introduced to went through rigorous testing. All the products were tested for purity, efficacy, potency, and safety before it was given to the customers. With all the research and testing that was done to produce these high-quality supplements, I felt these were the best for my health and worth it in the long run.

So in choosing a supplement, I believe everyone would want to choose one that was worth spending their money on and one that is of the highest quality.

The following are some questions you might ask if you’re wondering if the cost of high-quality supplements is worth it:

Does it dissolve at the right time, in the right place?

Vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients should be delivered to specific regions of your digestive system for enhanced absorption and utilization. Other brands may not be designed with optimal absorption in mind. It’s important that the supplements you are taking are absorbed.

One way to test is to see if your supplement dissolves when placed in water within 30 minutes or less. That is the same standard the pharmaceutical industry uses for tablets. Otherwise it goes in one end and out the other. That is just the very beginning.

Are they being absorbed in your bloodstream?

It’s important that the supplements you are taking are absorbed and assimilated into the bloodstream where they are available to the cells. Always ask the company for peer-reviewed research on their products.

 The key word here is peered-reviewed.

 That means it is unbiased, legitimate research vs. advertising research where you pay someone to publish your research in what looks like a legitimate journal.

Is there balance in the formulation?

 Balance is critical to a well-formulated multi-vitamin supplement. Many nutrients do not work effectively unless in a certain balance.

 Are sugars, artificial colorings or sweeteners used?

It is common for vitamins to have artificial coloring and sweeteners in them.  Read the labels to determine their presence.

Have they been extracted and preserved 100% in its live form as found in nature?

When you consume something that’s not found in nature, the body becomes combative and either makes it ineffective or produces adverse reactions to the substance. Not only should all nutrient factors be natural, but also, the processing should maintain its value.
