Depending on where you look, studies show between 3-12% of supplements brands commonly used in the US are 3rd party certified. Other studies have made findings such as only 21% of the products tested contained the supplement ingredient on the label. More and more consumers are becoming educated and wise to the fact that many supplement manufacturers cut corners, added in banned ingredients or skimp on the good stuff to maximize profits.
