How to pick a good supplement

  Sometimes in picking out a good vitamin/mineral it can be overwhelming. I came across this pamphet, on How to Pick A Good Supplement, by Suzy Cohen, RPH  and I thought it beneficial  in sharing it with you.

 Suzy Cohen says 
In picking out a great supplement:
  • ​​​  It must contain bio-available natural ingredients such as natural Methylfolate, not folic acid, or             methylcobalamin and not cyanocobalamin.
  •   It should not contain magnesium stearate or any of the "filthy five" ingredients. (see below)
  •  Buy from reputable brands. Not necessary big brands. Sometimes the less you spend, the less you  get. For example, I wouldn't brag about a  bottle of 1000 Fish Oils that costs $10...honestly, I'd be  very concerned that it was laden with mercury and other heavy  metals. How can any company churn  out supplements of any value and include a bottle, label, their team, shippig and 3rd party testing  and only charge you $10? That product probably not the best thing for you.
  •  Make sure they offer a guarantee so in case you're unhappy, and you can return it.  

The filty 5 is listed below and to learn more about each one please download the short pamphlet explaining why to avoid the filthy 5. The main thing is to READ  LABELS.     

                                                            For more information on Suzy, you can go to her website @ www.SuzyCohen.com.                             ​
