Determining the Quality of a Nutritional Product

Determining the Quality of a Nutritional Product

With every "health" and "nutritional" product, learn to read the label and ask the questions: Has the product been clinically tested by licensed healthcare professionals in actual clinics with a substantial number of patients? Where are the plants grown? Are they tested for irradiation? If so, what method is used for testing?

Is each plant tested for heavy metals and chemical contamination? If so, what method is used for testing? Is each plant tested for pesticides? If so, what method is used for testing? What species is used? What method is used for determining the species of plants? (There are many species of every plant and herb. Each has vastly different nutrient content, depending on where and how it is grown.)

What does the term "natural flavors" mean? (Most juice products have this on their labels - the new name for MSG – Monosodium Glutamate – a known brain neurotoxin that kills brain cells.)How is the product preserved? Is it pasteurized? (Destroys nutrient content) Does the product have toxic preservatives such as sodium benzoate, sorbic acic, or potassium sorbate?

If it is a tablet - how is it hardened and held together? (Answer: glues, binders, heat and pressure which destroys nutrients) If it is a capsule - Is it 100% vegetable fiber? (Rather than gelatin made from animal hooves.) Are any ingredients synthetic? (Studies show synthetic vitamins degrade cells and shorten the user's lifespan.) What are the "Other Ingredients" listed on the label?

(Many labels will show toxic ingredients such as magnesium stearate, stearic acid, silicon dioxide (or "silica" - common sand), titanium dioxide, etc.) Are any ingredients fractioned out of plants and herbs? (Using harsh chemicals - Labels should list real plants and herbs, not isolated vitamins and minerals, such as "ascorbic acid" for real vitamin C.) Any distributor of a nutritional product should be able to answer these questions.

Hi,
I would first like to congratulate you for setting up a blog so beautiful.

A good blog requires regular posts. Period! But, with multiple websites and other errands to attend to, it becomes difficult at times to manage everything effectively.

I can help you with all your blog posts and writing assignments. I've been writing on health and fitness for the past 16 years and can share your workload for as little as $500 per month. Though my blog is not exactly in the same lines as yours, but being a health writer I can do this for you.
