High quality professional brand nutritional and dietary supplements cost more that the supermarket or health food store brand. The question is why, and is professional brand supplements worth the extra money spent on them?

To answer this question we will look at several factors:

1. Organic versus non organic source;

In the professional brand high quality Vitamins and Minerals, the active ingredient in the supplement is sourced from organic materials. This is very important because nutritional studies have proven time and time again that there are more of the key nutrients in organically grown fruits and vegetables than there are in mass produced, chemically treated ones, so it only makes sense that this benefit would be passed on or not depending on the source of the ingredients. Some of the nutritional supplements may do more harm than good because they may contain harmful ingredients such as wholesale l-threonine bulk powder artificial coloring, flavoring and preservatives and additives.

2. Full spectrum sourcing versus one or two;

It is just as important to have a full spectrum sourcing in making sure that your supplement has all the nutrients you need, as key enzymes and ingredients can be lost in an extraction process. When the main source is only one or two plants or vegetables you are not getting the full benefit from that supplement worse yet the repeated exposure to the same ingredient may cause reactions in the person as it has been seen with the wide spread use of soy as a cheap source of protein.

3. The potency standardization;

Another important criteria you want to look for in choosing the right supplement is making sure the potency of the nutrients is ensured. When the label says that there is a standardized amount of a certain nutrient in the supplement, this means that the balance of herbs has been developed to make sure that each and every capsule contains the same amount of active ingredient. Depending on the herb in question, it is possible for say 10 milligrams of the standardized extract to be as potent or even more so than 100 or even 1000 milligrams.

4. The most important reason to choose a high quality professional brand nutritional supplement is safety. Since supplements and vitamins have become more popular with the general public, so many different bargain brands have come up overnight with the claim that their product is just as good as the more expensive ones and much cheaper. Be very wary of such claims! Remember, if a supplement is priced far below its competitors, they had to find some way to trim down the costs...are you willing to risk finding out what it was?

Professional quality nutritional supplements are those used by healthcare professionals such as clinical nutritionists, medical doctors who practice nutritional medicine and complementary healthcare practitioners such as naturopaths.

These nutritional supplements are used not so much for general well being, but for the specific purpose of correcting nutritional imbalances with the aim of bringing about positive changes in the body's condition. Professional quality nutritional supplements adhere to the highest standards of quality. They do not contain harmful artificial ingredients - so you won't get colorful and sweet-tasting pills.

Imagine you were told that you need to take Omega 3,6 and 9 and now you find yourself standing in front of the shelf full of these bottles all stating Omega 3,6,and 9 on it starting with the very cheap and going to what seems to be very quite expensive compare to the cheap one. How do you choose the right one for you? buy bulk shark cartilage powder can use the advice of a holistic practitioner with knowledge in nutrition.

Remember a bargain is some times not a bargain at all. This is specially true of nutritional supplements, for example if one nutritional supplement costs $10.00 and your body can only use 3-5% of it and then your body has to work hard to process and flash out the other harmful ingredients in it, versus a professional quality brand supplement that costs $30.00 and over 80-90 % of it can be used by your body and there are no fillers, artificial coloring or additives that needs to processed by your body which one is a better deal for you?
