How we can help save supplements.

The Nutrition World Podcast | EP 16

Quality is everything when it comes to supplements. While the supplement industry track record is pretty spotless, there are limited manufacturers and products that lack in cleanliness and quality. But there are members of congress, the FDA, and Big Pharma who want to take advantage of those few instances and monopolize their power even further.

In September a bill is being presented to that would impose "mandatory filing" making the supplements you need more difficult to purchase. This bill is championed by Senator Dick Durbin, who has a history of pushing for greater and greater regulation on the supplement industry and may seem innocuous at first glance, but we believe this particular bill deserves a little more scrutiny. That's why we called in an expert on the subject, a veteran in the industry, and someone intimately acquainted with supplement manufacturing.

Meet John Mills:

John holds a Masters Degree in Chemistry and has 10 years prior experience in biochemical research where he was responsible for GLP implementation in an analytical laboratory. He has been Quality Manager for Highland Laboratories (Mt. Angel Vitamins' parent company) since 1994 and was instrumental in the design of our laboratory facilities.
