Do you think supplements such as msm, flaxseed oil, multivitamins etc are better from the "health food" stores? Do you think generic brands such as CVS msm is just as good?
 
I would imagine what would determine if one Vitamin is better than another, is the quaility of the ingredients, how much is natural and how much is filler products. I am sure that there are some Generics that may be just as good as some from the Health Food Store, but you really need to do a side by side comparision on the ingredients and the % of each dose based on the daily value per caspule, serving etc... You will find that under Supplement Facts on each bottle.

I hope this was helpful ;)
 
It is a little. I have a bottle of 750 mg of msm from a health food store for $7.50. Today I got a bottle of 1000 mg of msm from cvs for 6.50. Does the filler count towards the weight of the mgs?
 
No the filler wont count towards the mg. It willl show separate as an additive. Your 1000 mg will offer more MSM than the 750.

I just started taking this in pill form and I got a headache the first few days. Let me know how it does for you. PM me as I may not get back to this thread. I swear I got a growth spurt, I hope my newgrowth is not up to any trickery :lol: .
 
it varies..I know that the Flaxseed oil I got from GNC was crap...I only use the orgaic stuff I get from Whole Foods. In general, the purer the brand the better so really inexpensive brands which add a lot of "fluff" to the vitamins aren't going to give you much. At the same time, sometimes a brand makes one vitamin really well but another one is worthless. Its all trial and error
