Nature's Best
Established in Tunbridge Wells in 1981 Nature's Best Health Products was one of the UK's first suppliers of high quality nutritional supplements direct to the public. We've grown a lot since then and have moved once or twice because of that, but we remain based in Tunbridge Wells. We now handle hundreds of thousands of orders every year and every customer is assured of a friendly welcome and that their purchase will be despatched promptly and reliably.
We've got a dedicated team who enjoy working here and support the aims and values of the company; in fact many of our staff have been with us almost from the start.
Most people realise that supplements are like foods when it comes to ‘best before’ dates and that the date on the back of the label is there to show you how much longer you have before the supplement must be consumed. Supplements are rarely seen to ‘go bad’, unless they have been exposed to moisture, but what you can’t see is that the nutrients often degrade over time, especially if they are vitamins, so the supplement looks OK but the nutrient levels have declined.
Safe Supplements
Times are tough and we all need to tighten our belts a little but buying heavily discounted supplements on price comparison website to save £s is almost bound to be risky; unless you’ve done your homework.
Take Vitamin D for example. This important vitamin has been in the news constantly in the last year, with many positive research findings. But what you may not have seen are the online discounters selling potencies as high as 50,000iu. Only doctors are able to recommend this level to their patients in very special circumstances and for short term use only as it is 50 times stronger than the level (1,000iu) considered to be safe as a long term daily intake.
Our advice
Only buy supplements that are made to GMP pharmaceutical standards – they contain higher quality ingredients and will have undergone stringent testing prior to being packed.
Only buy supplements from a reputable company. Do your research and check them out first. If the website has no contact information or there’s no customer service number, then be suspicious! Many companies will only give vague, uneducated answers about the contents of their products and the nature of a product’s manufacturing processes.
If the company makes outlandish claims for its products can you really trust them with your health? Call the enquiry number and ask them a few questions. Chances are they’ll give you vague, ill-educated answers about the content of their products and the manufacturing process.
Reputable companies will have an informative label on their supplements, which is both accurate and up to date. Bear in mind too that websites such as Amazon and eBay are great at deliveries but don’t claim to guarantee the quality or service of the supplements their merchants are selling.
