Are These Vitamins Made In USA

By Nita McKinney


Daily intake of vitamins has long become a habit to most Americans. Lately, there is rising concern regarding the quality of vitamin products. Given the horror stories about the poor quality of various products, including vitamins, produced in China, more and more people tend to buy the vitamins made in USA.

China is the world's largest producer of vitamin C. They produce maybe ninety percent of it, and it is high probability that some of that is contained in your multivitamin product. Besides, their products are very cheap, and manufacturers all over the world enjoy the opportunity for extra profit. Of course, they also produce other ingredients.

Production standards in Asian countries do not meet standards in Western countries. Analyses proved the presence of numerous toxic chemicals, dangerous drugs and other harmful stuff. Most food supplements designed to improve your health that contain these harmful ingredients are actually hazardous to your health. The importance of knowing the origin of every single compound became something everyone is concerned about.

Every food product should have a label. Unfortunately, even if your product is labeled as made in USA, it doesn't mean that every single compound is made here. China produces enormous quantities of different substances, and large portion of that will end up on your pharmacies shelves.

Most products produced in China are several times cheaper than the same products made in America. Manufacturer of various multivitamins buy part of the ingredients of their products, but they usually don't mention this fact on their labels. This means that it could be a possibility that customers buy Chinese products without being aware of it.

Another issue is related to package. Containers used for packing some multivitamins are also produced in Asian countries. No manufacturer declares the origin of their containers, and there is a possibility those containers were treated with different dangerous chemicals as well. They just don't have the same quality standards, or quality control.

As a result, people became more concerned about all those things they consume. Different vitamin supplements may become the main source of illnesses. If you are regularly taking these type of supplements to stay healthy, it probably sounds terrifying to you. After analyzing some of those mixtures, it was proven that some of them contain dangerous levels of toxic substances.

Cheap components are used in production of expensive products, and it really is something to b concerned about. Even when the product is labeled as American, you cannot be sure all components came from there. There is no guarantee for their origin, and no one is saying anything about packaging.

There are some manufacturers that are still trying to use only vitamins made in USA. They guarantee origin of each and every component of their product. Of course, these products are more expensive, thanks to the fact they don't use cheap ingredients. Check product's label before buying.
