Swanson Health Products uses a date of manufacture (the date the
product in the bottle was produced) rather than an expiration date
for its dietary supplement products. The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), the agency that oversees the manufacture and
labeling of dietary supplements, does not require an expiration

regulations are still evolving, FDA has yet to define...

Yes,
Maca and
Chasteberry
are perfectly safe to take together. In fact, one of the nice
things about supplements is that virtually none of them interact
negatively with each other unless it’s listed on the label. For
example, Chitosan is

weight loss products.

Yeast Rice has all components which would be naturally
occurring, though they...

Question: Is there a test to determine what vitamins and/or
minerals are deficient in our bodies? This would be for the
purpose of only taking what's really needed.
There are laboratory tests for many different nutrients, but each
of these would have to be ordered individually by your health care
provider. It’s probably easier to consult with a dietitian after
keeping a food intake record for several weeks to get an idea of
overall nutrient intake for starters. An experienced health...
