3 Ways To Protect Yourself
As A Supplement Consumer

Before making any purchase, do these things:

1. Vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids and herbal extracts work most effectively when taken together. This is called synergy.

   Formulating an anti-aging supplement with complementary ingredients in their proper amounts takes considerable skill. Review the credentials of the biochemist heading the formulating process. If the company won't provide you with that info, beware.

2. An anti-aging supplement formulated improperly either provides no benefit or it causes harm. In the US, only 20 percent of supplements actually contain what's on the label.

   Choose a supplement manufacturer that voluntarily abides by pharmaceutical GMP compliance, the Food and Drug Administration's highest manufacturing standard. They are not required to meet this level, but it shows a dedication to excellence.

3. Contact the supplement company. Can you get someone on the phone? Do they reply to email? Are they polite and helpful?

   Ask them for a Certificate of Analysis (COA); this document confirms the potency of the ingredients used. Avoid all companies that ignore you, give you a bad vibe, or dodge your questions.

These tips will serve you well. Use them to weed out poor and average supplement companies. The dietary supplements industry is loosely regulated, so it's largely up to you to find quality products.
