How To Choose The Best Nutritional Health Supplements?


There are many benefits taking nutritional health supplements. However, there are also many unhealthy reports about them.

When it comes to choosing the right supplement, most people are lost in a sea of confusion.

What baffles them are not only the names of myriad herbs and nutrients, but also the on and off media hype surrounding the supplement industry.

My aim is to help you eradicate the confusion; show you what to look out for while you go for the best nutritional and health supplement.

If you’re all set, let’s go.

Company Background

Take time to investigate the company. Pay their website a visit.

Find out who are the active people behind the company; and how long have they been in business.

Do they have clear contact information listed, through email or by phone?

How about an impeccable customer service manned by real people who can provide expert and honest information about a product, product ingredients or other health related areas?

Do they have an active blog or a Q & A page where you can further find answers to your questions?

Quality and Purity

Quality nutritional health supplements usually speak for themselves. But how can you be sure?

First, find out if the company develops their own range of products or do they use private label manufacturers, which is the norm in the supplement industry.

Only through the former, can the company have total control of the whole process of development and manufacturing, from R & D to the sourcing of raw materials, from the mixing/blending of ingredients to the storage and shipping process.

Have you read recent reports in the media about lead and other heavy metal contaminants in health supplements? How could this have happened if not for poor manufacturing practices?

Next, find out more about their manufacturing facilities. Look for manufacturing standards that are unsurpassed. For a leading provider of nutritional and health supplements, quality CANNOT be compromised.

Here's a simplified manufacturing process of the supplement manufacturer of my choice in two parts:

An insider's view (Part 1) (Part 2)

Transparency and True to Labels

Under FDA food regulations, it is not necessary for a company to test the ingredients used in their nutritional health supplements in order to verify claims made on the label.

Because of this, many dishonest companies have started producing cheap, low-grade and ineffective products. They might use the correct ingredient by name but had selected a cheap version of the ingredient with low potency.

As expected these companies do not reveal the form and potency of the active ingredients on the label—what is there to reveal anyway?

A reputable company will want you to know what you're putting into your body. Here is an excellent example of what I mean by truthful label.

Delivery Systems and Product Synergy

“Wasteful nutritional health supplements!” reports another health article.

How effective your supplements depends on the delivery systems. Regardless of whether it is in tablet, capsule, soft-gel, powder or liquid form, if the correct nutrients are not released in the correct place, even the best supplement in the world is deemed worthless.

Product synergy is another important factor. When many ingredients are combined in a formula they either, work synergistically together and enhance each other, or they remain neutral, or in some cases cancel each other out!

Best Value for Money

Look for a company that can guarantee their products go from ‘source’ directly to you at the lowest cost possible, thus providing you best value for money.

Look for deals like free shipping, or a loyalty program, as many online suppliers often have great deals if you are buying more than one product!

Check for a no-questions-asked 100% refund policy guarantee. Is a 6-month guarantee period provided by Xtend-Life more than enough?

It Works!


“I started taking Kiwi-Klenz a couple of months back and have found some good results with it.

The first is that I am digesting dietary fats much better. I used to get a slight gall bladder/liver pain if I consumed foods cooked in oil, or if I ate red meat. Since taking Kiwi-Klenz I have had no issues at all.”
