The competition these days in the vitamin supplement business is an ongoing battle between retailers and suppliers. It is not new that vitamin companies would proclaim that their products have high-quality components not found in others and secret ingredients that would put their vitamins a cut above the others.
Still, it bears mention that most of these vitamin providers buy their products wholesale from private manufacturers.
It's strange, but very true. Most major vitamin retailers manufacture and package their vitamins through private labels.
Private label companies also manufacture the vitamins for companies who hawk their products through multi-level networks and other forms of marketing. These sales and MLM agents will focus on secret formulas and processing techniques to sell their overpriced products, but remember where these products came from - private labels.
The reality is that close to 33% of brand name vitamins sold in America are produced and packaged by manufacturers like Vitarich Laboratories and Randal Nutritional Products. Over twenty MLM-based vitamin companies turn to Vitarich when it comes to their so-called "secret ingredients" and "unique formulas".
These facts may be surprising, but not scandalous. These facts are simply things that most vitamin supplement consumers should have knowledge of.
The goal of this article is to discourage you, the customer, for paying top dollar for vitamin supplements. Generic brands are mainly recommended by a lot of specialists in the vitamin industry. All it takes is for the vitamin supplement label to contain an approval statement from the USP (U.S. Pharmacopeia).
Still, this doesn't necessarily mean all private label brands are superior. But you shouldn't be too blinded by a retailer's claims.
Before going for a more expensive brand, do your homework first by researching. We advise staying away from more expensive brands and their secret formulas if the manufacturer would also choose to keep the location of their production center a secret.
