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

Just Because A Product Is A "Brand Name" Doesn't

Mean It's Safe!

By Phil Beckett

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
