Its a shame that some supplements are not as potent as they claim, and that come contin stuff they shouldnt. My aim is to live to 150 and beyond, and I try to do it the natural way. Meaning, I don't really want to take supplements. However, almost all of us have one or more deficiencies, so the best way to plug the gap is probably by taking a supplement. I am myself taking B12, iron and zinc as test have shown low values. You just reminded me that I need to do more research on the supplements I take in order to try to ensure I take optimal ones. Thanks!
Hey Johan, I agree. While some supplements aren't as potent or pure as they should be, being informed makes a big difference. Addressing your deficiencies with B12, iron, and zinc is smart. Living to 150 is ambitious, and supplements can help fill those nutritional gaps. Keep researching high-quality options. If you need recommendations or more info, feel free to reach out. Your health journey is inspiring!
Love this article! Just wondering - lots of talk about the importance of taking K2 alongside Vit D at the moment. Is this as necessary as many would have you believe or is it just a current fad?
As for taking K2 with Vitamin D, it's not just a fad. Vitamin K2 helps direct calcium to the right places in your body, like bones and teeth, and keeps it away from places where it shouldn't be, like your arteries. This makes the benefits of Vitamin D even better and safer. You can take them together to enhance the quality of the VD.
The suggestions for What Consumers Can Do are basically sound, but I would add, ignore advice from people like Louisa Nicola who want to sell you something. Using an outdated study from 2013 to slam other supplements is just a set-up.
Interesting observation Scott. Dismissing the article as a sales pitch overlooks the importance of transparency and rigorous standards in supplement manufacturing. I endorse brands like Momentous because they exemplify these qualities. I have been with the brand for almost 4 years now.
The 2013 study is still relevant, highlighting ongoing systemic issues in the supplement industry. If you have more recent evidence that refutes these findings, please share it. Ignoring well-documented research does a disservice to consumers who deserve the truth. Let's focus on promoting informed health decisions based on comprehensive evidence.

Thank you. Duely noted.
Does this problem occur in Swisse or Blackmores products?
