Everyone has read the reports and seen the news. Our
soil is depleted and lacks the necessary nutrients and
minerals that our bodies need. The environment is toxic
and wreaks havoc on our health. Free radicals attack
our immune system. The only solution seems to be
supplementation with vitamins, minerals, and
antioxidants to compensate for environmental
deficiencies.

After hearing all of this, what do most people do? They
take a trip to the local supercenter or pharmacy, grab
bottles of a popular supplement, and then think their
job is done. It is a safe bet, however, that many
people are not considering if what they consume is
nutritionally complete and balanced. Not all
supplements are created equal.

Dr. Myron Wentz, Ph.D and founder of USANA Health
Sciences has this to say in the company's "Health and
Freedom" brochure: " I began testing health supplements
in my analytical laboratory to measure their
nutritional balance and their effectiveness in
promoting and sustaining a healthy life. Many of the
products I analyzed were not only nutritionally
unbalanced, but had incorrect and misleading labels. My
research proved many times that what consumers thought
they were buying and what they were receiving were two
different things."

What can people do to ensure they are purchasing
supplements that are high quality and nutritionally

balanced? 

  Here are 5 tips to assist in this process:

1. Perform careful research! Don't just go along with
the latest fads. A good book to purchase is "The
Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements" by Lyle
MacWilliam, BSc, MSc. MacWilliam is a former Canadian
Member of Parliament and a current member of the
Legislative Assembly for  British Columbia. His book
carefully analyzes over 500 products available in the
US and Canada. The products that are listed at the top
are best in the market today.

2. Look for a company who invests significant time and
money in extensive scientific research, has worldwide
scientific alliances, and who puts quality first.

3. Check to see if there is a guaranteed potency. Yes,
there are companies who offer this and who follow
stringent analytical and quality control procedures. In
other words, what you see on a product's label is
actually in the product.

4. Make sure the company's products follow
pharmaceutical-grade good manufacturing practices
(GMP). This is a step above FDA regulations. This means
a variety of government agencies conduct periodic
inspections and require control of procedures, as well
as documentation.

5. Lastly, look to see if the company's products
provide a money-back guarantee. Believe it or not,
there is a company that is so confident about its
products that if offers a absolute money back guarantee.
