Are Your Supplements What They Say They Are?



Are Your Supplements What They Say They Are?
Nov 10, 2020

Unfortunately the production of supplements for the purpose of general health is not regulated nearly as well as it should be. This fact was brought to light when the New York Attorney General conducted an investigation on herbal supplements from GNC, Walmart, Walgreens and Target. What was found is shocking. In 4 out of 5 test samples the herbs named on the labels were not even detected and in some cases allergens such as peanuts and gluten were in the bottles and not on the label. The attorney general immediately ordered a cease and desist order forbidding these retailers from selling any tested supplementation and requiring the disclosure of the quality control measures in place.

I hear this and recognize why so many people have become skeptical when it comes to trusting supplements to improve their health. I see so many people have their depression improve or there prostate hypertrophy (BPH) resolve with the very kinds of herbal supplements that this investigation was looking into. The difference is that I am giving you quality supplements that I am positive have exactly what they say on the bottle, in the bottle.

Microplastics—tiny plastic particles between 1 nanometer (nm) and 5 millimeters (mm) in size—have infiltrated our environment, including the food we consume daily. While research into their long-term health effects is ongoing, and there are no targets for “safe” amounts of microplastics in our bodies, a 2024 study in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) linked the presence of microplastics in arterial plaque to a significantly higher risk of cardiovascular events. Researchers have also connected micro- and nanoplastic exposure to inflammation , immune dysregulation , and metabolic disruptions . Still, we’re early in understanding what these exposures mean for human health. There are no established safety thresholds for microplastics in the body. But the absence of a limit doesn’t mean the absence of risk. To help readers understand where exposure might be coming from, we’ve ranked common foods and beverages from the lowest to highest measured microplastic load per serving. But p...

Very Well Mind: What Does a Messy Room Say About Your Personality?

  What Does a Messy Room Say About Your Personality? Is your mental health or personality the reason for the mess? Organization is big business these days. From books to seminars to organizational systems, everyone seems to want to find some way to perfectly arrange every aspect of their lives. Have you ever walked into a messy house (or contemplated your cluttered abode) and thought, "Why?" There are many reasons a person might not clean their house, including mental health, personality, and stress. Do you ever dream of living in the perfectly clean and organized rooms of a home décor catalog? Or would you rather spend your time in a home cluttered with objects, souvenirs, books, art, and items that make up your daily life? Both of these questions are another way to ask: what causes someone to not clean their house? For some people, a tidy home can be soothing, an orderly retreat in an often disorderly world. For others, such environments can be sterile, bland, and uninspiri...
