5 Tips for Choosing the Best Dietary Supplements by Kathy Browning

--Look for a product that has a gender-specific formula. Men and women have different needs. A good supplement will have different formulations to meet those needs.

-- Look for a supplement that has morning and evening formulations. Our bodies require different vitamins and minerals throughout the day, while others help us repair our bodies in the evening. Additionally, some nutrients counteract each other and shouldn’t be taken at the same time.

-- Read the label to make sure the formulation has been independently tested and analyzed. Supplements should be tested for potency and potential toxicity and backed up with the best research and science available. A good manufacturing source is a key element in ensuring quality.

-- Buy supplements in capsule form rather than tablets. Capsules don’t include as much filler and the nutrients can be more efficiently absorbed into the body.

-- Finally, look for chelated minerals when reading a supplement's label. Chelation is a process that binds fatty acids or amino acids to a mineral, which aids absorption into the body.

I highly recommend X-tend Life Natural Products because they have addressed all of the above categories. Their product line is excellent and affordable, plus they provide a monthly newsletter and a loyalty program. You can learn more about X-tend Life at
