Choose 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.

There is a short-cut to checking. The label 'organic' should mean that nothing other than organically-raised and processed ingredients are in a product. Since the 'organic' designation is used only for food, this would mean that the supplement is food-based and contains only certified food and edible herbs or other plants. Not many companies in the United States produce such products, so the choice is limited.

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.

There is another point to consider, as well. Not all companies produce their raw materials, instead obtaining them from outside sources. This makes assessing purity harder. The organic certification is not easily won, and this designation means that the producer has gone to extraordinary lengths to offer a pure, safe, and effective product line.

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.

The research that calls GMOs safe for human use is mostly done by the food industry. Until impartial and properly-conducted tests are finished, no one can know the effects genetic modification will have on people. Many people would prefer not to be used as guinea pigs for testing the safety of mainstream products. Buying 100% organically-certified foods and nutritional products can give consumers peace of mind while awaiting the results of comprehensive safety tests. .
