My Favourite Supplement Brands

There are so many supplement brands out there that it can be overwhelming. Too many people assume that there are no differences between supplements and a product that you buy from Costco or Walmart are just as good.

Canada is getting better at regulating their natural supplements, but we still have a way to go.

Here are some of my favourite brands that are regulated like pharmaceutical medications. That means that what’s in the bottle, is actually in the bottle!

Genestra dietary supplements are compliant with FDA and Health Canada Good Manufacturing Process (GMP) requirements. They are also dairy free and gluten free and many of their products are also vegetarian or vegan.

Pure Encapsulations are also certified GMP and NSF-certified. Pure Encapsulations’ supplements are certified to be free from wheat, gluten, eggs, peanuts, glazes & coatings, GMOs, hydrogenated oils, and many more common allergen.

Douglas Laboratories is GMP and NSF International registered, ISO certified and ISO accredited for in-house laboratories, approved to produce certified organic products, and NSF Certified for Sport®. This means that you get the highest quality supplements.

Metagenics has worked with many of the top institutions on studies and publishing papers. They produce top-notch supplements with a clinical nutrition background.

Where to Buy:

Many of these supplements can be purchased through a naturopath, a nutritionist, a chiropractor or a select few health food stores. They can also be found online through several distributors. Always talk to your health care provider if you are interested in adding a supplement to your regime.
