All About Supplements

by Dr. Dan Kalish

pills

As a health practitioner, you want to make sure that you are giving your patients the highest care possible. As a patient, you want to make sure you are taking the essential steps you need to ensure your optimal health. Taking quality supplements is key to this process.

A recent investigation in New York State has led a group of attorney generals to form a coalition to address the quality control issues of the 5 billion dollar a year herbal supplement industry. This investigation was spurred by findings that four main national retailers of herbal supplements were selling products that did not contain the labeled ingredients, and/or contained additional substances not listed on the label. So, the next time a patient asks you were they should be buying their

supplements, we at the Kalish Institute would suggest pointing them towards the following reputable companies that sell professional-grade supplements and have more stringent quality control.
