Reselling Other People's Supplements

HerbsPro has operated since 2004 out of Hayward, California, under Universal Herbs, and it is a distributor rather than a maker of anything. The catalogue runs to tens of thousands of products from well over a thousand manufacturers, covering vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts, sports nutrition, beauty and pet products, and it stocks the same national brands sold by the larger supplement retailers. What you are buying is other companies' products at a distributor's prices, shipped from its own warehouses, with international delivery available. The brands are responsible for what is in the bottle. The retailer is responsible for getting the right bottle to you in good condition and with useful life left on it.

Check the Date on the Bottle

Supplements are one of the few categories where a very good price is itself a piece of information. Unlike electronics or clothing, they carry a date, they lose potency as they approach it, and inventory moving at a steep discount is sometimes moving because it is aging. That does not make discounted supplements a bad buy. It makes the date part of the price. A bottle with two years on it at a modest discount is often better value than the same bottle with seven months left at half price, because the second one has to be finished inside seven months to be worth anything. Work out how long a bottle will actually last you at the dose you take, and buy dates that comfortably cover it. This is also the reason to be careful with bulk offers on a site like this: buying several of something is only a saving if you get through all of it in time, and on a slow-moving supplement taken a few times a week, three bottles can easily outlive their dates. Check what arrived against what you expected, and if the date is tight, say so straight away rather than after you have opened it.
