CHINA sourced Supplement ingredients...

I've been reading that in the USA a great many supplement ingredients are sourced from China..
An article I read today said that 90% of Vitamin C used in US supplements are imported from China, where conditions are hazardly polluted at best..
Is anyone else concerned about what we're swallowing for the rest of our lives?
I know of one company that advertises that none of their ingredients are sourced from China.. I find it very comforting to know this..... Does anyone else know of other brands available from the store here that are not China sourced? According to US law, there is no requirement to state the country of origin of the ingredients that make up our supplements.
Remember, your vitamin bottle can say "Made in the USA", but actually contain 100% ingredients imported from China... I find this disturbing....

I knew we get a lot of medicine from India, Israel, Puerto Rico, even one time Singapore. Vitamins from China, that is scary. Remember they shipped in Dog Food from there, had dogs dying right or left, those who didn't die right away,were seriously impaired . I hate to be a profiler but it does frighten me.
