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.

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.
In the United States, the incidence of diabetes in adults rose by 33% from 1990 to 1998 and still appears to be on the rise. Obesity is considered one of the major risk factors for diabetes, but that may be more due to dietary choices.
