Pay particular attention to all the bad customer reviews at
resellerratings.com - see the contained url in the addresses above or
search google: site:resellerratings.com + puritan's pride

One of the lowest ratings of satisfaction at that site.

With all due respect, ALL vendors of "vitamins/supplements" are dodgy.
Unless you are suffering seriously malnutrition, or have some specific
illness, you just don't need them. Spend your money on fresh fruit and
vegetables instead!

I trust my distrust. Be nice and don't talk about me like that.

Sometimes I agree with you, sometimes not. The problem is that there
is no independent tester of these companies products to insure they
aren't just selling you pills with flour in them or worse toxic
contaminants.

But there are too many studies to deny that these supplements can
and often do have beneficial effects. Example is Alpha-lipoic acid
for which there is more than one study showing it reduces peripheral
neuropathy associated with diabetes

Or even worse, sugar.

Hmm, OK. But in that case, you'd be talking about buying alpha-lipoic
acid, not "vitamins/supplements". Just because one (or several) specific
useful drug(s) is sometimes present in these things doesn't justify the
worthiness of the category.

What is alpha-lipoic acid, by the way? What sort of food does it occur
in? ;-)
