How to Research and Trust a Supplement Company in an Industry of Scammers.
To research and trust a supplement brand, it is important to look for companies that provide transparency and disclose information about their lab analysis, certifications, and third-party audits on their website. Most supplement companies do not have such information readily available. It is also crucial to be cautious of supplements sourced from China, as the country's supply chain has lax quality control. Reviews on Amazon and crowdsourced third-party testing can provide helpful insights into the quality and efficacy of supplements. Some reputable supplement brands mentioned include Biotropics Depot, Jaro, Sports Research, Life Extensions, Thorne, and Nordic Naturals. However, it is difficult to guarantee 100% certainty in assessing the legitimacy of supplement companies due to the lack of FDA regulation and oversight in the industry.
