Our tips for buying herb supplements

1. Ensure their products are produced at pharmaceutical standard GMPregistered facilities. These places comply with very strict standards to minimize the possibility of product contaminants, which can actually be detrimental to your health.

2. Contact them and ask if they have a Certificate of Analysis on file confirming the potency of the ingredients listed.

3. Since many supplements can interact with others, giving unwanted side effects for your health, it's important that any product which contains multiple ingredients is scientifically formulated. Many products available on the market at the moment, are promoted by marketers, rather than top-notch scientists with proven and respectable credentials.

4. It is important to make sure herbal supplements contain only standardized herbal extracts. Unfortunately, many herbal supplements do not - because it's far cheaper for the product manufacturer to use low-quality ingredients.

5. Be sure the products do not contain any fillers or additives. This can be anything from sugar or, even sand!
