I recently found a Q&A on CNN that talks about the absorbent efficiency of vitamins and supplements in the body. The question was if high price vs low price are absorbed better and the answer from Dr. Melina Jampolis, Physician Nutrition Specialist, kind of surprised me. She said that the higher priced vitamins and supplements were the worst offenders for non-absorbency and contaminants. She said to look for the seal of USP or NSF, two non-profit organizations that check for contaminants and absorbency.

So, the next time you go looking to buy vitamins or supplements look for the seal of the USP or NSF. All products for Samana Nutrition are made in a facility that has been certified for Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) by both the NNFA (National Nutrition Foods Association) and the NSF (National Sanitary Foundation).
