Useful Guidelines In Purchasing Authentic Vitamins Made In USA

By Doris Madden


No matter what form they may come, vitamins are considered one of the most popular items being sold in the market today. Used to lose weight, increase muscle build-up, prevent aging or to promote immune system, it has continually made its mark as the most sought-after product and has caused quite a stir among consumers. With more and more manufacturers nowadays, buying genuine vitamins made in USA can be quite a challenge.

The Federal Trade Commission or FTC has stipulated that for a product to be designed with a "Made in USA" label, its components or parts must be done, manufactured or produced with "all or virtually all" or at least fifty percent of components coming in from US soil. This act further admonishes that US citizens must prefer buying products made in American to promote augmentation of the economic sector of the country. But with issues in counterfeiting and piracy hounding various corners of the world, including America, guaranteeing that you get nothing but purely authentic all-American brand require some simple guidelines should be taken into mind.

It is quite easier to check when buying from actual stores or pharmacies as label is usually embossed or stamped on the bottle or box of the vitamins. Double check, however, where the product is "packed in" normally found on content information. As stated, FTC's stipulations only require fifty percent of components but not covering manufacturing or production. When it comes to the word "America" or "US", bear in mind also that there are fifty states under the country's flagship.

Fortunately, checking of products safety and origin is easily checked online. Various products sold in the market can actually be checked in online directories and databases. The Food and Drug Administration or simply FDA has an interactive website which you can freely pursue. Its Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition guarantees that safety and accuracy of products labeling under its responsibility are carried lawfully and without prejudice. If you see its approval from FDA, it is guaranteed safe.

If buying online, check location of the store. One best way to guarantee that a product is authentic or not is to check if location stated on the website is for real. Some products though been tagged as "Made in America" but when you double check location of store, there is none in American soil or located somewhere else in Asia.

Checking of toll-free numbers usually indicated on websites can be easily verified via the Federal Communications Commission. Its comprehensive database holds all relevant information on toll free number series being provided. Verifying if a certain number is within US territorial boundaries or international is made possible with this.

But with the thought that retailer is US-based and the product is manufactured elsewhere can still be possible. With this, seeking out friends or family members recommendations will be most credible. If some of your trusted circle have tried and found one effective, then by all means, go for it.

Harrowing details on product recalls in the market nowadays are truly devastating to American consumers. It is no simple matter to know cyanide-laced food items and so on. Exercising extra vigilance is a must if you want to guarantee using safe and authentic vitamins made in USA.
