Consumer Health Review

Today, there are almost as many supplement manufacturers as there are the myriads of dietary health supplements available in the US and indeed throughout the globe. Not all supplement manufacturers are equal or even ethical, though. To get a slice of this multi-billion industry pie which is expected to reach 278.02 billion by 2024, cowboy manufacturers have been rushing unsafe and untested products to market which result in more than 23 000 ER admissions each year. How is this possible? As the FDA itself notes, it does not have the authority to review how safe or effective dietary supplement products are before they hit the market. As such, consumers need to be vigilant about the supplement manufacturers they trust. One such manufacturer which has garnered a reputation for producing quality, independently tested supplements devoid of potentially dangerous fillers and binders is Consumer Health and we will look at why this is so in more detail in our review.

There can be no doubt that high quality supplements can make up for a deficit in essential vitamins, enzymes and nutrients missing due to today's frenetic pace of life which often results in poor work-life balance. Consumers are defaulting to fast foods, processed foods and diets low in optimal health benefits on the whole. Coupled with raising awareness of the need for nutritional enrichment and fitness, as well as a desire to adopt herbal and alternative medicines for chronic diseases, this multi-billion dollar industry is expected to show even more accelerated growth through to 2025 at least.

What Is Required Before An Alternative Health Product Is On The Market?

If the FDA has such a tenuous grasp on this industry, what kind of manufacturer responsibility is there, if any at all, before beginning to sell a product? A supplement maker only has to notify the FDA if their dietary supplement contains a new ingredient. This must be done before product sales commence. However:

  • The FDA will only review the notification, not approve it.
  • That review will only be done to test for safety and has no bearing on how effective this new ingredient is.

This means if a manufacturer is using known ingredients, they are free to market it in any formula they like. It leaves the room open for irresponsible dosage directions, and dangerous fillers, binders and other additives. It also leaves the door open for false, untested claims as to product efficacy all round.

What's In Consumer Health Products? Ingredient Sourcing And Safety

Our research shows that Consumer Health has established itself as a stand-out manufacturer for sourcing pure, natural and bioavailable ingredients. To be effective and safe, a product must not only be natural but be free from toxins and pollutants, plus be readily absorbable in the body.

Many manufacturers fail biosorption scrutiny, which renders a product only minimally effective or not at all. As a consumer, you could, therefore, end up paying for a 'dud' product and waste your money.

Independent third-party reports support Consumer Health's claim that it has researched its ingredients, and leads the supplement industry in terms of quality standards, scientific research, and purity. The ingredients not only meet but exceed the strength and purity guidelines of the USP/NF (United States Pharmacopeia National Formulary).

The safety rating of Consumer Health products is extremely high as they contain no fillers, binders, preservatives, additives, artificial colorings and/or hormones unlike the supplements produced by the majority of other manufacturers. We've also found other manufacturer supplements to be contaminated with harmful dioxides, PCPs, toxins and other industrial pollutants.

The products are therefore considered safe for long-term use and have shown little to no side effect interference. Consumer Health products have never been the subject of an NIH alert or advisory.

However, it is always recommended to take caution as a matter of course when you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication for another condition and embark on a supplement regime. It is always best to obtain medical clearance.

Advanced Formulation

Consumer Health uses high quality, pure forms of critical ingredients. This is important as often what is included in other supplements are generic, inferior or lower potency forms of these ingredients. Some of the preservatives used by other manufacturers, for example, magnesium stearate, are harmful and can induce migraines and other serious side effects. No preservatives are found in Consumer Health supplements. The third-party testing shows that Consumer Health products:

  • Work faster and are more effective than other products on the market, thanks to the bioavailable formulas.
  • Address both the root cause and associated symptoms for an array of conditions.
  • Ultimately provide a total care approach to healing that is designed to be non-superficial and actual preventive aid to future recurrence as well.

Consumer Health Manufacturing And Testing

The supplements are produced in the United States in an FDA-registered laboratory that exceeds industry standards. The production facility is GMP-certified and meets the strictest FDA recommendations.

Pricing

Given the high potency, qualify formulations, we find Consumer Health products to be more cost-effective than most others when all relevant factors are weighed up. Unlike many other manufacturers, Consumer Health also offers bulk order cost savings that are noteworthy, plus flexible purchasing options. Various 6-month supply packages represent a cost saving of more than $200.

Is There A Guarantee?

We found the return policy to work as stated. Consumer Health offers a 60-day money-back guarantee. You may return used and unused bottles. We found the call center to be responsive and efficient.

Purchasing Security

Many shocking data breaches have taken place worldwide. Consumer Health uses cutting-edge encryption software over and above standard security features to guarantee your card detail and identity safety. This is one of the only manufacturers we've come across that offers ID theft protection, lowest price and purchase guarantees.

Consumer Health Review - Our Verdict

Based on our own independent research, we do not have reservations in recommending Consumer Health supplements. These products represent a quality (and in most cases superior), effective, label-transparent and safe health and cost value proposition. We found no formulation or ingredient shortcuts or return policy loopholes. The safety and manufacturing standards exceed what is expected and the result is top pharmaceutical-grade supplements.
