Some are the same supplements sold under well-known brand names in natural food stores, supplement stores and supermarkets at much higher prices. We distribute the product ourselves. We buy direct and eliminate the middlemen. Due to our size, we can order in large quantities. Since Trader Joe's volume is large and our overhead is low, we can keep our costs down and pass the savings along to you.
Every lot is assayed for all active ingredients.
We will not accept a lot if it does not meet our standards. Some are, some are not. The gelatin in most capsules, including ours, is derived from an animal source. Where the gelatin is from a vegetable source, it will be noted on the label. Some enzymes are from a bovine source.
