No two products are identical if made by different manufacturers and some are more “equivalent” than others. Unlike Nutri-West, Food Research products, for example, do not contain any isolated USP vitamins nor industrial mineral salt ‘nutrients.’ Also, Standard Process Laboratories sometimes uses porcine glandulars, USP vitamins, claimed mineral salts, and/or colors, whereas none of these are in Food Research International products.
It should be noted that Standard Process uses its trademarked term “Protomorphogen” (which it abbreviates PMG) for some items and Food Research International uses the term Cytotrophin (the original term that Royal Lee received his patents with, but that Food Research International has permission to use), for some similar items.
As a general rule, products listed below as “Vegetarian” can take longer to notice efficacy in some cases than those with glandulars. Because Food Research nutrients are ALWAYS 100% FOOD and the other brands are not, Food Research products are always better in that way to products that seem to be ‘equivalent.’

For decades the ‘natural’ health industry has been touting thousands of vitamin supplements. The truth is that most vitamins in supplements are made or processed with petroleum derivatives or hydrogenated sugars. Even though they are often called natural, most non-food vitamins are isolated substances which are crystalline in structure.
Vitamin-Mineral™ is a 100% vegetarian FOOD supplement that is the best multi-vitamin, multi-mineral product available anywhere.
Unlike some other claimed “ WHOLE FOOD” multi-formulas, it does not contain ANY isolate USP nutrients. 270 Tablets – $89.98
Gluco-Sugar-Balance™ is a 100% vegetarian FOOD intended to help support a healthy balance of glucose in the body. It contains minerals, such as Chromium GTF and vanadium, as well as herbs to nutritionally support the body’s blood sugar systems.
