The document discusses factors to consider when choosing dietary supplements. It recommends eating a variety of nutritious whole foods daily to meet nutritional needs before taking supplements. When supplements are necessary, it's important to choose products from manufacturers that rigorously test for safety and quality through practices like Good Manufacturing Processes. Key criteria include supplements being made from whole food concentrates, using organic ingredients, and having supporting evidence like ORAC value testing and published bioassays. Thorough quality control procedures around ingredients, disintegration time, microbiological limits and stability testing also help ensure supplement safety and effectiveness.
