[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 468344, member: 2211"] [COLOR=#008080][SIZE=2]Keep in in mind that outside the US, most countries regulate the use of vitamins/supplements and because of that, you need a prescription to acquire them, meaning that someone somewhere is making money (Pharmaceuticals/government/lobbyist groups, etc). For YEARS, the US government has been trying to do the same - regulate the use of supplements and vitamins - it is a HUGE movement among pharmaceutical companies. It would not surprise me in the least that behind all this is a group vying for corporate monetary gain. Next they will introduce "pharmaceutical grade" supplements across the board, just like they did ith Fish Oils a few years ago. There is ALWAYS something that will get you in the end. And if you do your research and educate yourself, you will learn which supplements your body requires.
