Juice Plus+® Part of a $23 Billion Nutritional Supplement Industry
Posted Jun 28 2009 12:00am
Juice Plus+® is among thousands of products considered to be nutritional supplements, vitamins, or alternative products that make up a huge industry, a multi-billion dollar one at that. Pet food and human nutritional supplements have something in common:
both are multi-billion dollar businesses in the USA. But where’s the
quality control and lab testing with free information accessible to
consumers on either of those industries?
USA annual sales of
nutritional supplements exceed $23 billion. But the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) is spread thin and doesn’t have the money,
resources, or staff to test all the supplements.
In comes the
private testing labs to fill the gap by testing and then selling
reports on the test results. But the labs charge consumers fees to read
those lab reports on the quality of various nutritional supplements and
related skin-care products.
Shouldn't the lab charge fees to
distributors that directly sell the nutritional supplements to the
public online or from stores instead of charging consumers fees to find
out whether there is lead or other heavy metals in specific brands of
supplements? That information should be in a free online database or in
public libraries so anyone can instantly find out whether specific
supplements or packaged health foods such as various brans contain
lead, arsenic, aluminum, mercury, or other toxins.
Comments: There are many products that contribute to this large number, and obviously many that should be researched before taking, or even avoided all together. We´ve always felt that Juice Plus+® is a leader in quality control because of the countless number of research studies performed on the product, and the high level of standards implemented in the manufacturing plant. Most other products the same cannot be said for.
If you are considering any alternative health care product for you or your pets, be sure to get the facts before making your purchase. For the sake of your health and your family´s and that of your pets.
