Right now, I'm on 1200 mg Fish Oil and 500 mg vitamin C twice a day, both made by Nature Made. However, i know that the supplement industry isn't regulated, so I'm kind of worried that I might just be wasting my money. So what are the brands that you guys use and have seen results from, or can personally recommend?

There is an amazing brand in Canada called Genuine Health. They have a huge highly respected name here and are available in the states as well.

Life Extension is the best, but I'm finishing up the rest of this GNC stuff before I completely transition over to that brand exclusively. You get what you pay for.

I use Blue Bonnet, New Chapter and Rainbow Light. Those are the absolute best. No extra ingredients, but very expensive.

Hmm, I honestly didn't know the brand mattered. Kinda like buying the same-looking shirt from Target rather than Gucci - they're the same. But just different names /made by different companies.

I normally buy Spring Valley's vitamins (from Wal-Mart.) But I don't want to be buying them if they're no good. Anyone a vitamin expert on here? haha

For fish oil, it's probably Carlson's. Life-Extension was also mentioned and their a good reputable company. Not sure on Vitamin-C, but there are a few good bulk sources out there or you could just use acerola.

If the fish oil isn't IFOS regulated... then it's junk. Seriously. I've been through SO many brands and was always wondered "Wow, why am I not experiencing any changes?" In the vitamin world, you get what you pay for. Buy cheap crap, you'll get just that: cheap crap that doesn't work.
