Many years ago I believed that all supplements were manufactured to the same standards, but I've since learned that this isn't the case. From personal research, I've found that there are many factors, which affect the quality and hence, the effectiveness of supplements. I will outline some of these now and will explain the relevance of each of the factors discussed.
The first factor is whether a dietary supplement dissolves and disintegrates totally and how easily available it is for use within the body. The nutrition in the product should be in an appropriate form and in correct ratios for maximum ingestion into the body's cells. This is called the bioavailability of the product. As the bioavailability of a product is primarily determined by the ratios of ingredients, it's essential that the manufacturer cautiously monitors and regulates the required balance of elements during research and production.
Many supplements are produced to food-grade standards, as this is all that is needed to meet industry rules in the majority of countries. But, without the control and accuracy associated with drug grade production standards, it is very difficult to guarantee the efficiency of products and ratios of nutrients. This is likely to have an effect on the bioavailability of the nutrients in that product. Another main concern with food-grade products is that there's an increased risk of product contamination.
Another important factor to consider is the amounts and levels of nutrition in the product. As an example, many multivitamin pill and multimineral dietary supplements are made to meet the suggested daily allowances (RDAs) of the relevant micronutrients. This might not provide adequate quantities to protect our bodies' cells from free radical damage and the possible start of degenerative diseases, as a lot of studies now indicate that we need advanced levels of micronutrients to promote optimal health. RDAs were established in the 1950s and were determined as a standard requirement to prevent acute deficiencies like scurvy and rickets. Due to pollution, lifestyle choices and depletion of nutrition in the food that we eat, our needs are now f

Due to pollution, lifestyle choices and depletion of nutrition in the food that we eat, our needs are now far greater. Increasing occurrence of degenerative diseases might be an indication of our bodies' growing demands for anti-oxidants.
Therefore, I recommend that if you are going to use supplements, you must find a producer that adheres to pharmaceutical grade production standards for the best results. If you are using, or considering using a multivitamin pill and multimineral product then it might also be helpful to ensure that the formulation contains advanced levels of nutrients.
