I'm looking for various products and searching the web. I want to buy some Grapefruit Fiber (Profibe maybe or ???), Red Yeast Rice, and some Boswellin. I want products that are 'standardized' and would also prefer 'extracts'.

I found a site called Vitacost dot com and they make their own products under the name : Nutraceutical Sciences Institute (NSI). Has anyone here used this website and/or their brand? If so, what products did you buy and did they seem to work? Or can you recommend any other sites or retail stores that you have been using and are very happy with?

Please NO self promotion or ties to the companies/products you are recommending !!

TIA

Find out if the company is GMP-certified by a third party like NSF International or the Natural Products Association. This gives you a reasonable assurance of quality, consistency, and truth-in-labeling.

By the way, "GMP" stands for Good Manufacturing Practices. The certification process is very rigorous.

I've been purchasing products from Vitacost for the past 3 or 4 years. Some of them carried the NSI brand name. I've been happy with the service, the pricing, and the products. Vitacost also has the best prices for Garden Of Life products ( Primal Defense, Perfect Food, etc ) which are some of my absolute favorites. I have no trouble recommending Vitacost.
