I am not officially dx'd with PD. I have thousands of internal tremors (very, very, very mild now and I was much WORSE! So whatever I've been doing -- is working!)
Nearly all of us have various vitamin stacks to combat our various symptoms.
So nearly all of us (including ME) are 99% WASTING OUR MONEY ... and...
may be INJURING OUR HEALTH!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Some of you may know from my previous posts that I have an on-going BATTLE with several vitamin manufacturers on Amazon who "claim" their vitamins are "MADE IN THE USA".
1. According to the FTC (Federal Trade Commission)"
Guidelines For Complying with the Made in USA Standard
"Marketers and manufacturers that promote their products as "Made in USA" must meet the “all or virtually all” standard to promote their product as "MADE IN THE USA."
PROBLEM? You can't trust these bas**** manufacturers to tell you THE TRUTH!
You ... I ... or a trained monkey could become a vitamin "manufacturer/ seller" on Amazon -- tomorrow!
We'd simply buy our desired vitamin formulation from any of tens of thousands of labs around the world! Then we hire a graphics designer to create a nice looking label and WHAM!
We are in business selling vitamins on Amazon!
The mark-up/ profit margin on vitamins is ASTRONOMICAL!
Why do you think that the #1 business in the WORLD is ... ILLEGAL drugs (meth, coke, heroin, etc.)?
There is so much MONEY in "drugs" -- both legal and illegal.
----------------------
2. Don't argue with me that vitamins sourced from India or China etc are "OK."
They are NOT! They have practically ZERO health regulations or inspections. Add to this that China and India have very serious POLLUTION (air and water) problems. Anything you SWALLOW from India and China is subject to this pollution.
Ahem ... Remember ... WHERE did Covid-19 come from???
Pesticides and herbicides that have been banned in the USA for causing cancer and neurological diseases are being used IN China and India!
REMEMBER! You are SWALLOWING the toxins and poisons manufactured with these imported vitamins!

I've posted before about the 3,700 health warnings send by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) since 2021 to hundreds of "health and food processing companies" for having LEAD ... MERCURY ... CADMIUM ... and many other toxins and poisons in their products!

So far, I have found exactly ... ONE ... vitamin manufacturer on Amazon who has said ... in writing ... that 100% of their ingredients for this Zinc product are indeed... "MADE IN THE USA"
amazon.com/gp/product/B071L...
Could this manufacturer be lying? Of course.
But ... But ... But ...
You'd be AMAZED at how many vitamin sellers on Amazon either a) don't reply to my question about the "source" of their vitamins or ... b) dodge the question entirely!
See the image I posted for PROOF!

Check out this very recent CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT in which an Amazon seller agreed to pay $800,000 to settle this lawsuit for mislabeling a "$12.00 wrist band" as ... "MADE IN AUSTRIA."
MuellerSettlement.com
And at least the customers (including ME) for this fake wristband were not SWALLOWING it!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
So do yourself a BIG FAVOR...
1. Buy only vitamins: "MADE IN THE USA" and it must SAY THAT on the label.
BEWARE OF THE FINE PRINT! These crooked vitamin manufactures... to deceive you...
often have this on the label in MICRO-PRINT along with the USA flag!
"Sourced from domestic and global sources."
This is TOTAL BULLSH*T! What you're swallowing, by this standard, could be 1% sourced in the USA and 99% China/India POISON!
2. But before you buy ANY vitamin ... directly contact the seller and ask:
"Your advertising says your vitamin is "MADE IN THE USA." So please tell me what percent of the ingredients are ... "MADE IN THE USA"?
3. Only buy vitamins that have the "GMP" label = "Good Manufacturing Process" (very, very few vitamin manufacturers will go through the time and expense to do this because it costs them MONEY.)
If "GMP" is not on the label ... do NOT buy that product!

BUYER BEWARE!
