Supplement superstars


Whether you’re 25 or 65, in excellent condition or dealing with a few health challenges, it’s likely you’ve asked yourself the same question I have while peering at shelves and shelves of small bottles: How

do I pick the right supplement? We have so many choices. To make matters more complicated, new studies released practically every day reveal how crucial nutrients work within the body to improve overall health, reduce the need for pharmaceuticals, or even help cure disease. Truly, we are just starting to understand how vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and other nutrients can impact vitality. Which companies are harnessing that information to make effective products? Tis month, I’m delighted to unveil our first-ever


Delicious Living Supplement Awards (page 38). With the help of our parent company New Hope Natural Media’s Standards Department and our longtime medical editor, Robert Rountree, MD, we combed through hundreds of supplements to find top picks in 31 categories, from the best new product to the best multivitamin for kids. Many supplement companies and retailers have gone a long way toward guaranteeing the quality, safety, and efficacy of the items they sell by adhering to good manufacturing practices (GMPs), performing third-party purity testing, and scrutinizing the sourcing of and the science behind the ingredients. Nevertheless, I encourage you to continue to educate yourself about supplements at newhope360.com. And don’t be shy: Ask questions of the companies you choose to buy from.
