Many supplements in the market today are not really what says on their label. Check out the article we found over at Buy Non-GMO Seeds.
Supplements can be a great way to get the nutrients that the body lacks. But, beware of Walgreens, Walmart, and target selling fake supplements.
Authorities in New York said they conducted tests on top-selling store brands of herbal supplements at four national retailers, GNC, Target, Walgreen, and Walmart. They found 4 out of 5 of products didn’t contain any herbs that were on their labels. The tests show that pills that were labeled medicinal herbs often contained little more than cheap fillers.
Missing labels has led many Americans to purchasing rip-off supplements hoping they would be leading healthier lives. What is really shocking, is that many of the filler ingredients are common
allergens. Are you buying these rip-off supplements?
1. GNC herbal supplements: there are GNC brands supplements that have been proven to contain soybeans and peanuts, both being common allergens.
2. Walmart’s memory boosting ginkgo Biloba: this is a popular supplement that contain radishes and wheat and to top it off, this supplement is claimed to be gluten-free and wheat-free.
3. Target’s St. John ’s wort, valerian root, and ginkgo Biloba: these 3 supplements contained absolutely no herbal ingredients. They were full of beans, carrots, peas and rice.Image credit: Buy Non-GMO Seeds

Then the government has to control all this. Don’t leave it up to the public. The FDA has to get involved.

Why on Earth would you buy supplement from Walmart, CVS or Walgreens or Target? These are places supplements. The majority are coming from China therefore are made from drywalls formed into powder or made from dangerous particles.. Buy supplement from a good holistic health store nearest you. Yes they may be pricy but worth it or online. Anything cheap is a red flag. Just be aware. Do research before you buy.
