Quality Vitamins and Nutrients Part II
To continue our posts on finding a quality vitamin and nutrient we are going to go over a number of critical factors that you can use to judge the company for yourself.
The nutritional company should optimally be a primary manufacturer, not a re-packager. This means that they will source, manufacturer, store and ship their own products rather than farming this work out to another company(s).
Granted there are some very good nutritional companies who have other companies do this for them, sometimes just a few products and sometimes most of their line. Reasons could be cost effectiveness, ability to produce a large amount of end product, or unique propriety technology or ingredient that only the manufacturer is privy to, thus licenses it out.
We utilize companies who for instance have a quality ingredient grown for them and then have another company produce it for them under their strict guidelines.
The problem can come when the strict guidelines are not monitored or followed. When utilizing a primary manufacturer you are dealing with a company who is responsible for all of the sourcing and testing of product, therefore has much more control over quality and control issues. If they are a reputable company this is just one extra insurance policy a consumer can take.
