The Problem with Cheap Quality Supplements
⠀
If you’re buying your supplements from drug store & supermarket brands, you’re more than likely wasting your money. This also goes for that famous health store franchise brand (the one with all the green branding).
⠀
For starters, just look at the ingredients. Lots of weird words. Fillers? Maltodextrin? Gluten? Wtf.
⠀
Additionally, when it comes to herbal preparations like Ginseng, Ashwaghanda etc..we don’t know the quality of the herb they sourced. This is a problem because herbs have the potential to be harmful/toxic if they’re not good quality.
⠀
On top of it, we don’t know which part of the herb is being used in the supplement compound. Are they using the stalk? Root? Leaves? Yes, it makes a difference. Different parts of the plant have different properties and different effects on the body.
⠀
When you seek out a high quality brand for your herbal preparations, it should tell you which part of the plant was used. The supplement should also be organic – after all, why would you want to invest in a highly concentrated toxic pill?
⠀
Moreover, cheap supplements tend to be compromised in potency – the bottle may promise 1000mg, but does that mean you’re likely to get anything near that from it?
⠀
Finally, the preparation used to make the supplement may be in a really crappy form.
⠀
That means even if it may actually contain the 1000mg promised, your body isn’t going to be able to absorb anywhere near that amount.
⠀
It could also result in you having some undesirable physical manifestations like a rash, bloating, stomach ache, changes in bowel movements etc.
