Find Organic Non GMO Supplements

By Colette Foreman


Without the safety of genetically-modified organisms being established by long-term research, many consumers are avoiding them in their food. However, they may not have considered the wisdom of choosing organic non GMO supplements as well. Many nutrients that make up vitamin and mineral formulas actually come from food; with the growing number of bio-engineered plants and animals, screening everything meant to enhance health may be helpful.

Most consumers don't have either the knowledge or the time to investigate on their own. Fortunately, there's a quick way to feel confident. This is in trusting the 'organic' certification of a supplement. Just as with food, this assurance tells the consumer that there are no GMOs in the product. There are only a few companies that produce this kind of food-based and food-quality nutritional aids.

Although few companies produce all-organic, food-based formulas, this doesn't mean consumers can't get what they want and need. The companies that have this philosophy market a full product line, with daily multi-vitamins and more specific formulas to target such things as inflammation, joint problems, hormone deficiencies, and stress-related anxiety.

Another way to make sure of getting highest-quality, pure, and completely natural products is to buy from companies that promise to use only carefully-selected and independently-tested raw materials in their formulas. The company that pledges this kind of care should have third-party certification and an excellent rating in the industry. All reputable manufacturers will have toll free numbers and be glad to answer any questions consumer may raise.

Just being GMO-free, which is usually announced on the label, does not mean that all ingredients are organic.On the other hand, non-organic ingredients don't mean a product is unsafe. Many herbs are wild-crafted. Other things, like coconuts, may not be grown on certified farms but the growers may not use any herbicides, pesticides, or chemical fertilizers, either. Again, using products from a reputable company with truthful labeling is a real comfort.

Since many companies buy their raw materials from outside sources, this makes it even harder to get assurances of complete quality control and purity. There are manufacturers who test every batch of wild-crafted herbs, for instance, or other purchased raw materials to ensure they are both pure and potent. The integrity of the manufacturer is the consumer's safe-guard, so this must be checked out thoroughly.

Even though the amounts of any substance in supplementary form are small, they can be dangerous. In addition, they are often expensive. Consumers should be able to trust that they will get exactly what they pay for, in the amounts stated on the product label, and in a form that is bio-available (usable by the human system) and all-natural.

No one really knows what genetically-modified organisms do to the environment or to people and animals. There are grounds to fear that bio-engineered crops may be harmful to pollinators like bees and butterflies. Consumers who want to get the purest and healthiest products need to take care when buying supplements. Checking out the company of origin and reading the labels of all products is a good start.
