Guest guest Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 I agree, Jen. I don't think Twin Lab makes the best product for most things, but they are certainly one of the best, short of the whole food supplements. Their vitamin C, for example, is inferior to a good whole food vitamin C, but comes the closest I've seen to containing all the various components of the C complex. But for the cod liver oil, Twin Lab doesn't make it, a fish does. So, short of carelessly handling it (and I don't think they do, since the stuff I've bought has never been rancid) I don't see how it could be so bad. Chris ____ " What can one say of a soul, of a heart, filled with compassion? It is a heart which burns with love for every creature: for human beings, birds, and animals, for serpents and for demons. The thought of them and the sight of them make the tears of the saint flow. And this immense and intense compassion, which flows from the heart of the saints, makes them unable to bear the sight of the smallest, most insignificant wound in any creature. Thus they pray ceaselessly, with tears, even for animals, for enemies of the truth, and for those who do them wrong.

Twin Labs is the ONLY company to have a liquid form of Choline Chloride (supposedly the ONLY way to take choline). It also is the only company to have the " Super Amino Night Diet " . They market things that research supports. jen ----- Original Message ----- From: <ChrisMasterjohn@...> < > Sent: Wednesday, December 18, 2002 12:46 PM Subject: Re: Re: CLO and pregnancy > In a message dated 12/17/02 8:06:37 PM Eastern Standard Time, > mmarasco@... writes: > > > > Twinlab is a supplement giant and generally speaking use cheap > > ingredients and make an expensive product, especially considering > > what you get.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2002 Report Share Posted December 19, 2002 I have 10 years in the health care and supplement industry, not a single professional that I know who is worth his salt recommends any twinlab product. They have a reputation as great marketers with a lousy product. I won't debate my opinion with you as its just my opinion based on my extensive experience. If you like their product use it.
