Buying Nutritional Supplements

Video Transcript

"Hi I’m Lisa Jones on behalf of Expert Village. In this segment we will be choosing a supplement. Please feel free to visit my website at www.healthwisewithlisajones.com. When choosing a supplement, you want to make sure you know where your supplement came from. You want to make sure that you are taking reasonable amounts of multi-vitamins and mineral supplements to prevent any deficiencies that you may have. The supplements may also provide health benefits beyond just preventing deficiencies as well. You must also make sure that you are purchasing a supplement with a USP lettering on it. That is very important. Make sure that you look for supplements that have designation on it. You want to make sure that you are checking the expiration dates on the bottle. For example, this product “glycemic balance” which is a nail replacement protein supplement. If you look at the bottom, you can usually find an expiration date at the bottom. Most times they are the bottom but sometimes they have them on the side and other times they have it on the label top. Wherever you purchased from will also have the expiration date. So for example this one says 10/2006. You want to make sure that you are using it before the expiration dates and sometimes they do stock products in the place where you buy the vitamins that will have expiration dates on them. Make sure that you are looking on that and if they don’t, ask your sales representative."
