How to choose well

Firstly it is important to know if your nutritional support comes from nature or if it is man made?

Like anything, it is always best to go for the most natural of anything that you can.

Nutritional support is no different. Man made compounds have not been around for thousands of years so the long term effects on the human body are still up in the air.

In the case of vitamins, when given a choice where would you want your child to get their vitamins from? A laboratory? Or an orchard?

Quality research on the product is extremely important.

Look for a product that has published research in reputable medical journals. There is a big difference between advertising material and medical journals. Peer reviewed and published research is the research you will find in medical journals. Before you can have a study published in a medical journal it first must pass the peer reviewing process. This is when the study design, procedures and results are carefully examined for inconsistencies or errors by a group of peers in a specific field of study.

Many studies do not pass this process due to poor design, in correct procedures or assumptions. This process safe guards the scientific community by screening research with a large number of learned peers before it is allowed to be published. The best products have primary research which means that the research is conducted on the actual brand name and formulae of the product you are going to buy and consume.

Secondary research is when studies are quoted on individual ingredients that the product contains. We all know that when you mix things together you most often get different outcomes! Just because and individual ingredients will perform in a certain way on its own does not guarantee that when mixed with other ingredients it will perform the same way, that is why we need primary research.

You must try to find products with brand name research on the formulae you yourself are gong to consume. Research should be conducted on human beings. This is the best way to ensure that you will get the health benefits you are looking for. A lot of research is conducted with animals and in the test tube. The best products will have been tested clinically with humans.

Independent research is when the research is conducted by a medical institution other than the company itself. Non independent research is when a company has its own laboratory perform studies on their own products.
