  • Cindy, great question about supplements. My favorite website for assessing quality and effectiveness of supplements is www.consumerlab.com

    Started by former FDA staffer, Bill Obermeyer, the site is one of the best in terms of scientific quality and trustworthiness.

    Hope this helps.

  • Great info, Melinda!
    I have a general question about supplements. Like you, I've always thought that eating healthy foods should cover my vitamin and mineral needs.

    Now that all the info is out about vitamin D, I'll be shopping for a supplement. (I've ALREADY talked with my doctor about the appropriate dosage, just as you suggested.)

    How do you find a safe brand? I've heard that sometimes the ingredients come from China and that supplements are not regulated by the FDA.

    Thanks for your help. Enjoy your day! (I'll bet you are out in your garden RIGHT NOW!)
