No never. I knew someone that worked with Country Life and thought they were reputable people—unlike some other’s he knew.

It is very difficult because there is little regulation. (there is a bill, IIRC, that they are trying to get thru Congress, but it is frought with political implications).

Make sure any herbals you get are “standardized”. Meaning you get the equal parts of the same part of the plant in each capsule. You don’t want stems and seeds in one and leaf in another .. .

I take the Country Life Multi-for Women because I like the additional herbals in it. I’m not sure that the vitamin part is any different than what you’d get at Walgreen’s. Walgreen’s is sure cheaper.

The vitamin/supplement business is one industry is one that would benefit from more regulation.

A little bit of research and you realize it is a cross between caveat emptor and the Wild West.
