Vitamin Supplements: Cheap, Affordable And Wholesale
By:
Published: August 2, 2007
Good health is becoming a lifestyle all around the world. People take vitamins and agonize over foods' nutritional value and hunt stores for effective yet cheap supplements. Wholesale supplements are crucial so that everyone, no matter what his or her socioeconomic status, can afford supplements to help lead a healthy lifestyle.
Fortunately, there are some companies that agree, and produce generic supplements. Some stores, like Roundy's and Walgreens, produce their own line of inexpensive supplements and sell these vitamins to the public at discount prices.
There are a few tips to buying inexpensive supplements. The first is to always look for “USP” on the label—this ensures that it meets standards as far as strength, purity, etc.,—and all vitamins, name brand and generic alike, should have this stamp of approval before being ingested. Another tip is to buy synthetic vitamins. The only true difference between organic and synthetic is in the cost. Plus, the herbs added to organic supplements have minimal effects on health. Synthetic supplements are almost always sold at bargain prices, while still providing all the health benefits.
Great places to purchase low-cost supplements are at the grocery store. Many grocers carry store-brand vitamins, which are cheaper than their counterparts. For instance, Walgreens' own brand, Nature Made, sells Folic Acid for $4.99. The name brand supplements are $14.99 and $17.99. Those ten dollars add up fast, especially for people who take many minerals daily, or for a pregnant woman (Folic Acid is essential for expecting women, as it helps prevent neurological defects). Another product by Walgreens is their Vitamin C, which is perhaps the most commonly taken vitamin. It is $2-$3 cheaper than the other brands.
There are also many websites that offer wholesale supplements. These can sometimes be bought in bulk, but care should be taken not to purchase so many that they expire and must be discarded. Some great websites that sell reasonably priced supplements are Best Price Nutrition, Whole Supplement Store, and Cheap Vitamins. Some of these websites also have tips to a healthy, better lifestyle, which is a bonus.
Another thing to know about generic supplements is that there is one thing they have in common with name brand versions. They are not meant to be substitutions for meals, and should not be used as a “way out” of eating certain foods. For instance, a Calcium pill will not make up for not eating foods that contain it naturally. In fact, Calcium pills can't even provide 100% DV in one pill, as they would be much too large to swallow. Take affordable supplements for what they are—they should help fit the body's needs, not fulfill those needs all by themselves. Secondly, don't buy the large-doses. Stick to cheap multi-supplements. Vitamins that concentrate solely on one need are not meant for the average person. Taking too much of certain supplements can be harmful, especially with A, E, and D. The results can be as minor as dry skin and as severe as blood clots or liver problems.
With affordable supplements all over the market, everyone can enjoy an additional boost to their health. Ideally, everyone would consume all the right foods, get a proper amount of exercise, and be well-rested. Unfortunately, the world calls people away, and some of these basic needs can be neglected. But supplements can lend a helping hand, especially on those days when all there is time for is a frozen pizza or a bowl of Ramen. Start living healthier today, without the expensive costs of name brand pills. The body's talking…is its owner listening?
