What factor is involved in rating this brand better than other brands? is there a professional nutritional paper to back up their claims?

Hi Sam, before starting on a probiotics regimen, I read a lot. One of the articles I read is this http://www.health.harvard.edu/fhg/updates/update0905c.shtml. I am sure you will find plenty online. Just a caveat, I am not a MD or a biochemist or a professional in the the are, but let me tell you my experience. I started taking probiotics and I noticed after 10 days improvement on the issues I had. After finishing the first bottle, I did not buy or take another pill for a couple of weeks. The issues resumed, and I quickly bought a larger bottle this second time around. As for choosing this brand, I bought it based on its reviews and its high number of CFU's. I hope that helps.

I have not tried other brands nor do I believe there is a professional nutritional paper to back their claims. I've rated it based on my overall health expeirence. I'm regular and my chronic rash with the help of this product and a vegetarian diet is under control and almost completely vanished. Whenever it reappears its because of poor diet and/or skipping my 1 capsule daily dose of probiotics taken together with Liver Cleanse.

They are doing the same campaign in Jan and feb 2014. All the five star reviews are from people that reviewed another supplement (some times 4 or 5) on the same day, with the same five-star results, sometimes even reporting conflicting amounts of weight loss. Usually for another Naturabest product - coffee bean extract. Clearly bogus reviews.

I don't know answer for much of your question, but the company is NOW Foods and they are a reputable natural foods/vitamin company. I worked at a health food store over 25 years ago when in high school and this is one of the brands they carry/carried.

Offered supplements should be required to show ingredients but many don't. Some "show" it but deliberately blur the list and don't provide a magnifier thereby making it impossible to read. Its ODD! I would never buy a supplement without knowing what's in it! The only way is to look it up elsewhere and hope to find same or better price to reward sites that disclose all the information!

Karma Police thanks you for the question, Gwen. We are sorry for our delayed response. You are right to be cautious. Now we will reply to the seller. Karma Police did find a trademark application that appears to be for this company. We notice some discrepancies, though. For example, the word mark says "TRUE LIFE Nutrition" but your company is called "TRUE LIFE Nutrients." We suspect you may have some trouble with the Examiner on this account. Please also note that US trademark applications are public and searchable -- including applicant addresses. We see you have not hired an attorney to represent you. Bad move. Further, that website? We've been there. It appears you lost steam because you answered this question in March. Here it is May and it's still a template with no content. http://tlnutrients.com/ Doesn't match what's printed on the bottle. You seem to be having trouble deciding what the name of your company actually is. And...the product is currently unavailable on Amazon.

Greetings....their B-12 is a result of cultivating certain raw elements and is unlike anything on the market. If you go to www.rawvitamins.com you can get a comprehensive answer. Also, their Vitamin D3 I take also because it is a result of using cultivated raw vegetables (mushrooms, I believe0 and it the best product on the market. That, too, is explained at the above website. Enjoy!! Fred

I'm not sure about specifics on their testing procedures, but I can say I have not encountered any supplement companies as good as them. The products I have used are all good and they even send free samples of their products. Might be a question to ask their customer service.

I have not used this brand but I know other people who have used it and they are happy with it. I hope that this helps you.

If you want more detailed nutritional information, email Newman's. I've done that on a few occasions and they are quick to respond. I love this company!

I haven't used New Chapter but since it's owned by Monsanto, I'd rather take my chances with Vitamin Code. I've tried their Raw Vitamin C and I love it. This is next on my list.

I don't hae the package with me so I can't answer the question. I have found the paper to be quite good as I use it for professional purposes..

The therapeutic grade claim is a scam. The best quality you can get and you should look for is 100% pure and organic. You can't really tell by looking at labels so you need to find trusted brands. Now Foods offers great quality essential oils.

Please verify the information with your pediatrician that I posted prior to this for some reason it posted before I finished writing. I would stay away from the artificial sweetener in the Kirkland brand. You may also verify the information at the National Institutes of Health - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3476526/ and http://kidshealth.org/parent/growth/feeding/calcium.html and http://www.nichd.nih.gov/health/topics/bonehealth/conditioninfo/Pages/children.aspx I hope this helps. As always please consult your physician and or nurse practitioner before starting any type of vitamin supplementation.

I don't know that answer but I buy them because they are ranked nuber 9 of 100 for best/worst vitamins. The cost is fair for that rating of effectivness at 8.1 http://www.multivitaminguide.org/

You can check all of the nutrition facts and also the details about its "organicness" at the website ---> www.healthforce.com The producer of the product believes in something called Truganics, which is basically better than just regular organic because all of the ingredients they use are specially cultivated and put together free of any unnecessary thing like heavy metals. The regulations on organic are not as strict as Truganics so you know that the ingredients and products are better produced than other companies. Check out the website, it can answer a lot of your questions if you have more.

Since this product was recommended to me by my nutritionist, I've never raised this question. However, I know that if you call the manufacturer andor distributor, they will usually be able to answer that question as do most vitamin/supplement makers, in this case, Designs for Health.

Tim, you may have to look elsewhere online for that info. I will say though, as a vitamin expert this is one of the finest mineral products I have ever used. Still using it. What makes it different is NOT the label, its the QUALITY which imho is superior to other brands.
