Some examples of toxicity this article brings to light include the dosage of a certain form of selenium called sodium selenate commonly used in lower quality multivitamins, the high and unnecessary dose of tin, and the unnecessary addition of nickel.
Looking at the natural health products industry as a whole, the past ten or fifteen years have brought enormous growth. With this growth we have seen numerous new products offered and numerous new companies producing them. Unfortunately, many of these products don’t live up to the standard we all expect.
Some reported examples include:
1. Fish oils that are contaminated with levels of mercury and PCBs, way above acceptable standards.
Health professionals who are “in the know”, choose to use only products that meet certain standards. The following points will help you understand why we choose the products we do!
1. Science Based Supplements – A good quality product is developed to reflect the latest in nutritional research.
2. Pure and Safe Ingredients – Each ingredient of every product must be evaluated for quality and purity before and after production. A good quality manufacturer will do this, and furthermore, they will make these reports available to healthcare providers.
Vive Integrative Health Group uses only products that can deliver on all of the above requirements. Trust your Naturopathic Doctor to know which products are safe and effective. A good quality product will sometimes cost more, but remember that the most expensive product is the one that doesn’t work!
