You are the first person I've known who asks for a certificate of analysis

from supplement companies. Do they gladly comply? What do you commonly find

in them that is bad? Does it worry you when ingredients come from China? Who

are your favorite manufacturers?

The only time I was able to make a judgment about a supplement company was

when it was co-owned by a very close, very ethical friend. The company was

Pioneer. My friend sold the company before she died, so I don't know if the

new owners have continued her ethical practices.
