good brands of vitamins? (was monsanto/solgar)

What *are* some good mainstream brands? (Meaning, those my local Wild

Carma,

The lines of commercially available supplements are pathetically

poor. There are a few companies who provide an occasional decent

product in their line however most are synthetic and or poor quality

many times making deficiencies worse and causing more stress on the

body.

The only two supplement lines that I ever recommend are Standard

Process and Doctors Research. Standard Process is only available

through a health care provider. And of these two lines my experience

has shown much better results with Standard Process, both with my own

family and my patients.

See my post #3227. Also see my post " prenatal vitamins " at

www.westonaprice.org on their forum. It also discusses why I

recommend SP over others. You can also read about them as

www.standardprocess.com

I realize sometimes I sound like I'm on the payroll at SP but

I'm not I just respect their 70 years of history and Farmland that

averages 8-10 feet of topsoil as opposed to 4-6 inches in the rest of

north america. These supps are made from food sources not fake

substances synthetically produced in a lab. If you can't get all

your nutrition from food, your supplements better be made from

food. I am familiar with most of what is sold in the stores

(obviously not all) and there is nothing there that I would recommend.

If you have any further questions Carma feel free to email me or

re-post here. If you need a health care provider near you to obtain

the SP product just let me know and I'll find one for you. In the

sometime situation we can't find one near you, I can help you get

them. Either way enjoy your inquiry.

Sincerely,

Dr. Marasco,BS,DC
