You May Be At Serious Risk If You Use Certain Nutritional Supplements!

Just Because A Product Is A "Brand Name" Doesn't Mean It's Safe!

Studies have shown that the vast majority of women take some
form of supplements every day. Even if you are one of the rare
few one doesn't, you probably have a loved one who does and
could benefit from your simply forwarding this message.

Now, the problem is not that women are taking supplements.

In fact, in this day and age, with the proven decline in the
nutritional value of mass commercialized foods, including even
fruits and vegetables, proper supplementation is vital for
maintaining a healthy, vibrant, and energetic lifestyle.

One of the mistakes people tend to make (and it's an
understandable one) is that if a supplement is a "brand name"
then it must be high quality.

Sadly, nothing could be further from the truth. A lot of
questions surround Coral Calcium in particular, which by itself,
is an excellent supplement for a variety of reasons.

Some of its benefits include; maintaining healthy bones and
teeth, staving off osteoporosis, the proper functioning of the
heart, and helping nutrients properly disperse throughout the
body, to where they are needed.

The problem, however, is that both government and private
organizations have shown that you only have a 1 in 5 chance of
actually buying a product that has the amount of ingredients
stated on the label, or one that does not contain contaminants.

Shocking, isn't it?

You may have heard of Coral Calcium and Robert Barefoot.

Many suppliers of Coral Calcium use his image, name, and all
claim to sell his "special," "approved" formula. This is
nonsense because all of them have different formulas, and often
use different grade Coral Calcium.

One of the best known and biggest sellers of these brands is
called "Coral Calcium Supreme," which many women reportedly use.

Again, women assume that because it's a brand name (and
therefore costs a lot) it must be good.

But you have to be cautious and know that Barefoot's name on a
product in itself doesn't amount to much of anything, except a
higher price tag, and certainly doesn't speak to quality.

consumerlabs.com, a private company whose mission is to
independently test various supplements to see if they have what
they contain, came back with this shocking conclusion, and to
quote:

"ConsumerLab.com reported today that 20% of the calcium
supplements it recently evaluated failed testing. One of those
that failed is the much hyped Coral Calcium "Supreme" which,
coincidentally, was also the subject of government action today
for false advertising.

Reasons for products failing the Calcium Review included
excessive lead, too little calcium, and inability to fully break
down (needed for absorption)."

Lead!

Lead is a well known toxin that can lead to neurological
dysfunction and damage. And wouldn't you be angry to find out,
even if it not contaminated, it didn't have the amount of
ingredients that you PAID for?

So, why do many supplement companies do this? Coral Calcium
"Supreme" is certainly not the exception, but the rule.

Well, for one thing, it's much cheaper for them if they don't
have to subject their products to a rigorous manufacturing
process that ensures there are no contaminants. They also do not
adhere to a certificate of analysis that shows their products
actually contain the amount of ingredients stated on the label.

They're hoping that, you, the consumer, is never the wiser. In
short, cheaper product manufacturing means more money in the
pocket for them.

All, nutritional supplements are supposed to enhance your
health, NOT impair it.

The bottom line is: whatever products you take, you should
investigate very carefully the company that manufactures them.

This is also why I feel so strongly about recommending certain
natural products from a company in New Zealand.

The whole company's history and mission was founded on producing
an honest line of supplements, under the most rigorous
manufacturing requirements in the world, far exceeding U.S. FDA
standards.

They subject their Coral Calcium with Phytonutrients product,
for example, to not only the most stringent manufacturing
requirements, but also provide a certificate of analysis for
each batch produced, which means it is independently tested to
be free of contaminants and have what is stated on the label.

I've only received positive feedback from women who use this
coral calcium product, and I can confidently recommend them in
the highest regard.

You may like to check out the company's history, facts, and
mission. I think you will realize, as I did, what an exception
to the rule they are when it comes to nutritional supplements.
