Something better Tailored to the Health Nut

Vitamin World is one of a few large chain vitamin stores supplying supplements to American retailers. Along with Vitamin Shoppe, Life Extension, and GNC, Vitamin World is one of the most popular health spots.

Unfortunately, it's not the best.

As more and more supplement providers tailor specifically to the health needs of niche communities (such as triathletes, octogenerians, menstruating women), the best vitamins become hard to fihd because they are so unique. Vitamin World carries most supplements offered on the market, but not in the right quatities or balance for many individuals.

For instance, there are a number of supplements that help with how to relieve stress. The vitamin world carries these individually (phosphatidyl serene, L-Theanine, etc...) but, they do not have a formula that combines the best natural stress relief supplements into one.

I don't have all the answers as to what vitamins to take. I take the damage control master formula myself. But I suggest you at least take a look to see what's on the market before falling into the "Wal-Mart" trap of cheap-and-easy purchasing.


What is the Vitamin World?

In a nutshell the Vitamin World is a large-sale national seller of vitamin supplements. It is similar to GNC, the Vitamin Shoppe, or the Life Extension company.

Vitamin World carries retail vitamins, however the prices on many supplements are often marked up by as much as 50% to cover the wholesale costs.

Buying direct from the supplier is often the best method of getting the best value at the best price.

Vitamin World makes its own vitamins right here in the good ole' USA also Vitamin World was highly rated by Consumer Labs. GNC and Vitamin Shoppe did not do as well.

Vitamin World makes their own vitamins. They are the supplier. They have strict mfgr guidelines and they are the largest mfgr on the northern hemisphere. Ask yourself this: Does Vitamin Shoppe make their own vitamins?...... therefor, can they guarentee the products i buy from them? well....Vitamin World does!

Final Thoughts on Vitamins

It's not just about vitamins. It's about nutrition as well. If you visit the vitamin shop, you're going to find more than your essentials, and more than an assortment of antioxidants and omega 3 vitamins. You'll also find exercise equipment, lifestyle magazines, a shelf with every weight loss shake in the world, and even cures for ailments, bruises, scrapes, and illnesses. So, it's not just about vitamins, it's about your entire lifestyle. Live healthy!
