Schiff Melatonin
Schiff Melatonin
Does name brand matter when buying health supplements.?
Let's say I am buying health supplements such as Multi-Vitamin Tablets, Melatonin or Omega 3.
1. Should I consider a name brand or is it okay to pick the cheapest one?
2. Of the following brands, which one has the best quality and is most trustworthy?
Natrol, Nature Made, Schiff, GNC, Centrum and etc.
(Suggest me other brand if you can!)
I always recommend staying with the big players whose quality control and effectiveness is well established. I like the Life Extension Institute products. SportsPharma is also good. As luck would have it, I just did some research on this very subject this morning. I came across a link evaluating the "top 25" supplements sold in the US and Canada. They say this was the top 25 out of 1,000 and claim all by independent study. I will include a link below. Here are their findings:
