    Question on Discount Store Supplements?

    I have been seeing more and more supplements in places like Big Lots, Dollar Tree, etc...my question is about their quality. I have heard it both ways. I have heard they are fine and just from stores that liquidated or closed and I have heard that they are usually expired or not as good as other supplements. Certainly, I want to be sure I am getting what I need from a supplement, but if I can get the same thing cheaper, that seems reasonable as well. Any thoughts or experiences?

     I would personally avoid them unless you are absolutely sure what you are getting. If you choose to get them at those type of places, understand that you should pay attention to the labels as well as to the expiration dates. I have had some bad luck with buying supplements at discount stores and now I stick to places that specialize. Certainly, for many, cost is a factor to consider. Just exercise caution.

    Its always better or secure to buy any thing you need from a good drugstore or a sports store. Today there is lot of adultration or other fake stuffs going on you never know what ou have bought. So better stick to a quality store no matter you need to pay a dollar more. After all you are risking your life with that.

    I bought whey protein powders from Costco once and they were of a very low grade and made me feel sick when I used them.  I switched to GNC and Vitamin World for supplements and have had much better experiences.
