Buy Supplements Direct From Manufacturer ((NEW))

If purchasing from well-known establishments, it is generally considered safe to order vitamins online. It is wise to first do research when choosing a place to purchase vitamins from. As a consumer, it is important to know what must appear on a supplement label. According to the FDA, there are five statements that are required to appear on a label: the statement of identity (name of the dietary supplement), the net quantity of contents statement (amount of the dietary supplement), the nutrition labeling, the ingredient list, and the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor. If any of the above is missing, return the vitamin supplement.

The unfortunate answer to this question is that you might not be able to tell if a supplement is fake. In some instances, it may be obvious. For example, if you are deficient in a vitamin and after taking the vitamin supplement your lab values do not change, you should question the authenticity of the supplement. However, other times the answer might not be so clear. If you have taken a vitamin before with no side effects and suddenly you experience unwanted side effects, it might indicate something counterfeit. In addition, if the name and place of the manufacturer are missing from the vitamin bottle, it might indicate foul play.

This varies from person to person. Higher risk groups may need to supplement earlier than others. For example, adolescents with heavy menstrual bleeding, young vegans or vegetarians, or children with deficiencies or malabsorption issues may benefit from taking supplements from a younger age. For healthy individuals that eat an adequate and varied diet, vitamin supplementation may never be necessary. As always, work with your healthcare provider to determine if and when supplementation is right for you.

What about other online sites such as VitaCost.com, iHerb.com and PureFormulas.com? According to sources (such as here and here) , it is risky to purchase from these online sites for many of the same reasons as Amazon. They are not guaranteeing that they purchase their supplements directly from the manufacturer, but seem to purchase from unregulated third-parties as well.

Buy Online from Amazon ONLY IF the Manufacturer is the Seller. For example, with this Dr Schultze product, Dr Schultze is the manufacturer and the seller. Whereas with this D3 product, Now is the manufacturer but it is being sold by River of Human Health, an unknown third-party, which may or may not be legitimate.

Buy from Small, Local Stores. In the writing of this blog post, we called Pharmaca and Natural Grocers and were openly given the information that they purchase their supplements direct from the manufacturer or from their local Denver distributor.

The important part of buying locally is understanding that not all brick-and-mortar stores are safe places to buy from. Whole Foods would not speak with us about this, so I am unsure of their policies. (Does anyone know?) You can read here about the problems found with supplements sold at Walmart, Target, GNC, and Walgreens stores.

Our Fullscript Online store is a distributor, as explained above. They supply multiple brands so that our clients can purchase from several companies at once (usually saving shipping fees) and they get each brand that they sell from the manufacturer directly.

Purchase from Healthcare Practitioners who Private Label Supplements. This essentially means that a practitioner sells a specific supplement line, but with their own product names and personalized label. While there are many out there and I cannot vouch for all of them, I have many practitioner friends who do this and sell safe private-labeled supplements from one or two trusted manufacturers.

At the time of the writing, sites such as Vitacost, iHerb, Pure Formulas were not guaranteeing that the supplements they sold were being purchased directly from the manufacturers of the product. I did not make up this information- I linked to 2 reputable sources in the blog post who have researched the subject extensively.

Congress defined the term "dietary supplement" in the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994. A dietary supplement is a product intended for ingestion that, among other requirements, contains a "dietary ingredient" intended to supplement the diet. The term "dietary ingredient" includes vitamins and minerals; herbs and other botanicals; amino acids; "dietary substances" that are part of the food supply, such as enzymes and live microbials (commonly referred to as "probiotics"); and concentrates, metabolites, constituents, extracts, or combinations of any dietary ingredient from the preceding categories. Dietary supplements may be found in many forms, such as pills, tablets, capsules, gummies, softgels, liquids, and powders. They can also be in the same form as a conventional food category, such as teas or bars, but only if the product is not represented as a conventional food or as a "sole item of a meal or the diet." To be a dietary supplement, a product must also be labeled as a dietary supplement; that is, the product label must include the term "dietary supplement" or equivalent (e.g., "iron supplement" or "herbal supplement"). DSHEA places dietary supplements in a special category under the general umbrella of "foods," unless the product meets the definition of a drug (e.g., because it is labeled to treat or mitigate a disease).

Under the FD&C Act, a firm is responsible for ensuring that the dietary supplements it manufactures or distributes are not adulterated, misbranded, or otherwise in violation of federal law. If a manufacturer or distributor makes a structure/function claim (a claim about effects on a structure or function of the human body), a claim of a benefit related to a classical nutrient deficiency disease, or a claim of general well-being in the labeling of a dietary supplement, the firm must have substantiation that the claim is truthful and not misleading. Facilities that manufacture, process, pack, or hold dietary supplements or dietary ingredients for consumption in the United States must register with FDA, as required by the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 and implementing regulations, before beginning such operations.

FDA is responsible for enforcing the laws and regulations governing dietary supplements. To identify violations, the agency conducts inspections, monitors the marketplace, examines dietary supplements and dietary ingredients offered for import, and reviews NDI notifications and other regulatory submissions for dietary supplements (e.g., postmarket notifications of a structure/function claim or other claim made under section 403(r)(6) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 343(r)(6)). We also investigate adverse event reports and complaints from consumers, health care professionals, other regulatory agencies, and industry.

Other than the manufacturer's responsibility to meet the safety standards and labeling requirements for dietary supplements and to comply with current good manufacturing regulations, there are no laws or regulations that limit the serving size of a dietary supplement or the amount of a dietary ingredient that can be in a serving of a dietary supplement. This decision is made by the manufacturer and does not require FDA approval.

Because FDA does not approve dietary supplements before they are marketed, the agency often does not know when new products come on the market. Therefore, we are not able to keep a complete list of all dietary supplements sold in the United States. If you want more detailed information about a specific dietary supplement than the label provides, we recommend that you contact the manufacturer of the product directly. The name and address of the manufacturer or distributor can be found on the label of the dietary supplement.

Because the law prohibits the distribution and sale of adulterated dietary supplements, manufacturers and distributors have initial responsibility for ensuring that their dietary supplements meet the safety standards for dietary supplements. When manufacturers and distributors do not fulfill that responsibility and adulterated dietary supplements reach the market, FDA has authority to enforce the law to protect consumers. In general, FDA is limited to postmarket enforcement because, unlike drugs that must be proven safe and effective for their intended use before marketing, there are no provisions in the law for FDA to approve dietary supplements for safety before they reach the consumer. However, manufacturers and distributors of dietary supplements must record, investigate, and forward to FDA any reports they receive of serious adverse events associated with the use of their products. FDA evaluates these reports and any other adverse event information reported by health care providers or consumers to identify early signals that a product may present safety risks to consumers.
