Are These Vitamins Made In USA

By Nita McKinney


Most Americans take vitamins daily. Lately, they are more and more concern about their quality. Large portion of products today origin from China. They might be cheaper, but they are mostly of very poor quality. When you are taking something because you are concerned about your health, you want to be absolutely sure about this product's quality. That's why people want to buy vitamins made in USA.

China has become the world's largest producer of vitamins. For example, in China, they produce more than ninety percent of total world production of vitamin C. In addition, vitamin C produced in China is significantly cheaper than the same product produced in another country. Given this fact, there is very high probability that a multivitamin product containing vitamin C is manufactured in China.

Unfortunately, in production of these components they simply don't follow the same rules Western manufacturers do. Their products often don't meet usual standards, or simply cannot pass usual quality control. In many of those product controls discovered different chemicals and toxins, even dangerous medications. It's time to make people aware of these facts. You need to know the origin of your product.

It became more difficult to determine the origin of your product. Thanks to the fact all vitamins produced in China are considerably cheaper, it is easy to assume some of them will find a way to most multivitamin products manufactured elsewhere. Even if your product is manufactured in USA, you have no guarantee it isn't placed in a container produced in Asia. All in all, most product you will find in your pharmacy in fact contain some components that came from China.

Most products produced in China are several times cheaper than the same products made in America. Manufacturer of various multivitamins buy part of the ingredients of their products, but they usually don't mention this fact on their labels. This means that it could be a possibility that customers buy Chinese products without being aware of it.

Another issue is related to package. Containers used for packing some multivitamins are also produced in Asian countries. No manufacturer declares the origin of their containers, and there is a possibility those containers were treated with different dangerous chemicals as well. They just don't have the same quality standards, or quality control.

It's no wonder people became so concerned. Some of them were taking vitamins to improve their health condition, and they were actually taking dangerous drugs and other harmful ingredients. Maybe the final product was manufactured in States, but some components might be produced elsewhere. Considering the price of different Asian products, and the portion of the market they occupy, it isn't hard to make a conclusion.

The label should include a guarantee that all components of this product, including packaging, are produced in America. Even in this case, you simply cannot be sure. There is no legal provision that determines the manufacturers to guarantee the origin of each component. In their chase for profit, many of them resort to cheaper components.

There are some manufacturers that are still trying to use only vitamins made in USA. They guarantee origin of each and every component of their product. Of course, these products are more expensive, thanks to the fact they don't use cheap ingredients. Check product's label before buying.
