As with anything and everything we purchase, it is important to make sure the nutritional supplements we buy and consume are of the highest quality possible. Unlike a piece of clothing or furniture (which we would also love to be high quality, of course!) the nutritional supplements that we consume can have a drastically different effect in our bodies depending on their quality and purity.

But what makes a quality nutritional supplement? What exactly does quality pertain to in the world of vitamins and minerals, when we would probably assume (for the most part) that all vitamins and minerals are made the same? Well, the truth is quite far from that, in that nutritional supplements can be profoundly different from each other in content and quality from one product to the next, and it may not always be entirely clear which is superior when you’re looking at products on the shelf.

1. Is the supplement purity tested by a third party?

2. Does the supplement contain vitamins and minerals in their bioavailable forms?

time! (and we would highly recommend that you take the time to do this, as it’s very important for your health). Forms that are not bioavailable can actually accumulate in the body over time, or may lead to the decrease in other vitamins and minerals attempting to compensate for the presence of a form that causes stress.

A very new concept in the world of multivitamins and quality nutritional supplements, but compatibly is posed to change the face and format of multivitamin supplements forever (for the better!). It is impossible to combine all known nutrients into a single pill and expect our bodies to be able to process and utilize them at the same time, as some nutrients interact negatively with each other (inhibiting use and absorption) while others must be present together in order to have absorption occur properly. Compatibility is taking quality nutritional supplements to a next level, far beyond what has been previously offered in the health and wellness marketplace, and only one supplement in the world, LUCID, is designed with nutrient compatibility in mind.
