How
much would it surprise you to know that a recent study has
shown that when you buy supplements over the counter,
MORE than 40% FAIL
to contain what is printed on the label?
Studies have shown that the contents of over the counter
herbal products can contain as little as ZERO of the stated
active ingredient up to far more of the active ingredient than
advertised. This can lead to both ineffective as well as
dangerous supplements. Even more alarming is the fact that
these same studies show that there are often unstated
additives some of which could also be potentially dangerous.
You
might ask, “How can this be possible"?
It
is not only possible…..it is a reality. There is little if any
regulation of the herbal supplement industry. That delightful
looking bottle that you eye in the drugstore or alternative
health store might just be missing the very ingredient that
you so desperately need.
The
reason your ingredient might be missing is that these
supplements are treated as indifferently as a piece of fruit
that you might buy at the grocery store. It looks like an
apple, and it says it’s an apple; therefore it must be an
apple. NO ONE checks to see if it is an apple, and NO ONE
checks to see what is in the supplement bottle!
This
has given me great cause for concern. I want my patients who
are using herbal supplements to get what they are paying for
with complete certainty.
That
is why I have teamed with one of the leading manufacturers of
herbal and holistic medications in the world. This manufacturer holds itself to the most rigorous of
manufacturing standards. They guarantee that the stated
contents on the label are accurate and safe.
Therefore, if you are like so many other knowledgeable people
who are going to continue to use herbal alternatives, you need
to know with absolute certainty that you are getting the
desired product.
More
and more evidence points toward alternative medicine as a way
to prevent as well as cure significant medical problems. The
fact that you are reading this page means that you know and
understand this concept. |
