CHINA sourced Supplement ingredients...



Recommended Posts

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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
