It amazed me that Safety is the number one concern of consumers that took our survey. And I was certain that Price would be up there, and it ranked last.

In Canada, we have the Natural Products Directorate to ensure we have access to safe effective natural supplements. However, even with this in place there is still problems when it comes to weight loss supplements advertising that they will help one lose weight. When it comes to fish oils, I believe using a pharmaceutical grade fish oil may help reduce the risk for exposure to contaminants such as mercury, PCB's, and dioxins. However, the fish oil industry is not regulated and it still comes down to the consumer being aware of what they are buying.
