judging supplements Re: Re: selling supplements

[Guest guest]

I don't sell health/vitamin/nutrition supplements, etc, but if one is considering

them, doesn't Germany have quality controls that our FDA and Dept of Agriculture

don't have? That might be a criteria to base judgment on.Timps - I do sell, and use myself, Obagi Skin products, and even to my mother!

;-) Ethically, I think it is fine, feel that most of the patients do great

with them and don't " push " them at all, or even enough perhaps. > On Sun, February 1, 2009 3:00 pm EST,
