Are Your Vitamins Made in China?

By: Bruce Brightman

Let me start by saying more than likely if you are taking a big National Brand vitamin, then the answer is YES! Why? It comes down to money really. Here is a breakdown of how the vitamin business is operated and why knowing where your vitamins are coming from is a big deal!

It costs more to outsource your nutrients from the US especially, but also from Scotland, the UK, Australia, Japan, and a few other countries, but these countries standards are far different than that of China. From a cleanliness perspective to a humanitarian standpoint, as well as the quality of life for the people working in these manufacturing plants.

Let's take the one nutrient most people know that comes from China: Vitamin C - Ascorbic Acid. It is an industry known fact that 80% or slightly more of the world's supply of Vitamin C - Ascorbic Acid comes from China: However, you can buy this same nutrient in the United States, Scotland, the UK, it just costs around 5 times as much. Couple that with the wage of employees that perform the work and what you have is a huge gap. For instance; The avg factory worker in China Nutrient factory in 2018 was $1.32, the same factory employee average in the United States was $17.57.

Here is one of the many major problems when dealing with China: The Chinese Gov't itself owns all of these vitamin companies in one format or another (communism), whether it be local gov’t or the national gov’t. This means that regulations don’t matter, they produce inferior supplements and no one is doing anything about it, we just keep taking them because they are cheaper. With paying the above horrible wages and the living conditions being horrific, this is exactly how they compete in the vitamin marketplace.

Here in the United States, Vitamin & Supplement Companies say they test all the nutrients that they get from China, but the reality is, it is an impossibility to run that many tests, environmental toxicity tests, other drugs from waste runoff, and even more scary, are the Unknown Toxicities.

FACT: Only 2 percent of all imported vitamins and other supplements are inspected. Why? Vitamins and supplements are classified as “food” by law and therefore not subject to any tough regulatory scrutiny.

China is the most polluted nation on the planet (by far), yet many fruits, vegetables and herbs are grown in China and exported to North America for use in our natural products. China is a nation that has virtually no environmental regulation enforcement. In China, anything goes: They can dump all runoff, sludge, and garbage directly into their rivers. They can spray raw human sewage sludge on crops. They can produce factory-made chemicals and blow the waste products right into the air through unfiltered smokestacks. In China, many rivers are so toxic that, from time to time, they actually catch on fire and burn. Their food quality is the worst in the world as well. Half of the country’s major water bodies are polluted, as are 86 percent of city water bodies. Pollution is largely caused by the country’s numerous factories, which rarely have equipment for treating pollution. 70 to 80 percent of the country’s industrial waste is directly emitted into their rivers.

Here are some interesting statements:

So people can die from taking the wrong supplements, but we don’t really want to scare anyone….hmm...

Here is another one:

So why would a vitamin company use nutrients from China? Profit! Does anyone really trust China products, much less food or vitamins?

Substandard and fake goods are so common in China that the Chinese people themselves have an expression, it is called: Heixin (pronounced hey-sin), to describe those who make, sell or profit from them. Heixin roughly translates as "black heart".

FACT: Chinese imports accounted for more than 60 percent of the recalls announced by the Consumer Product Safety Commission this year. From toothpaste to toy trains to tilapia to prescriptions, to vitamins and so much more.

While doing this research over the last 28 years, it has been both disheartening and motivating. I am more motivated now than ever to continue to create vitamins and supplements that work and are safe for my family and yours. Bruce Brightman
