from Vitality Radio Podcast with Jared St. Clair · host Jared St. Clair
On this episode, Jared pulls back the curtain on what supplement quality certifications really mean. What does third-party tested actually tell you? Is cGMP certification enough? How does NSF certification differ from NSF Certified for Sport? And should you avoid ingredients sourced from China or India? Jared explains how reputable manufacturers verify ingredient identity, potency, purity, and consistency through multiple layers of testing, annual audits, and finished product verification.
