supplements vary significantly in quality and how you can tell the difference.

Press Release Body = Nutritional supplement expert Dr. Rick Liva will be the guest
on the June 28th Access to Health Experts teleseminar series. He will discuss what
makes a supplement high quality and how to ensure you are getting your money's worth
when you purchase supplements. This free interview is open to the public and is
hosted by Liz Lipski, PhD, CCN.

With the plethora of nutritional supplement brands and qualities on the market
today, it is hard to know what to look for when buying supplements. However, the
choice is an important one. It affects both your health and your wallet, and
understanding what each manufacture offers is time consuming. According to Dr.
Lipski, "What many people don't know is that there are big differences in supplement
quality. I recently heard Dr. Liva speak, and was impressed with how thorough and
sensible his approach is to nutritional supplements."

While most natural product suppliers assure you they are giving you the best quality
in the marketplace, according to Dr.Liva, "they often don't deliver the quality that
they claim. Many natural product testing laboratories use unethical practices and
poor science to test the validity of raw materials and finished products. Very few
companies also test for raw material solvents, pesticides and herbicides used on the
plants."

A nutritional supplement is only as good as the authenticity, potency, and purity of
the starting raw materials. There is enormous variability in the base quality of
these ingredients depending on how they were grown, harvested and shipped.
Nutritional supplement suppliers each have their own standards, and there are no
enforced quality standards. Where some demand high quality and ensure this through
rigorous testing, others have no such commitment.

In this informational teleseminar, you will learn:

. What to look for when reading the label to choose well
. What makes a supplement high quality, including Good Manufacturing Practices
. How a supplement's potency is related both to its supplier and its ingredients
. The effect on your health of supplements that contain solvents, pesticides and
herbicides.
