A place for supplements and more!

The vitamins selected for sale in our store have been researched personally by Dr. Tenpenny. She has visited the manufacturing facilities of many of our vendors and is pleased with their quality control. We believe our supplements of the highest quality.  With nutritional supplements, it’s true that you "get what you pay for."

Dietary supplements are not required to be standardized in the United States because they are considered to be a food. In fact, the label only serves to identify ingredients, but does nothing to tell the consumer about the quality of those ingredients. From ginkgo to lipoic acid, the raw materials chosen for a product can make the difference between a truly effective product and one hardly worth taking.

Here’s one example: A recent study published by the University of Maryland analyzed 32 different products that contained chondroitin. The results showed that 17 of the 32 contained less than 40% of the amount of chondroitin claimed on the label. In fact in two of the products, the amount of chondroitin even varied from capsule to capsule.

Here's another example: Chondroitin, a nutrient often coupled with glucosamine for joint pain, is a very large molecule which is barely absorbed. There is only one chondroitin manufacturer that makes the molecule size small enough to be absorbed; this is done through the use of a complex, patented process that involves enzyme degradation. It stands to reason, the chondroitin that works will be somewhat more expensive.

As the effectiveness of the supplements depends on the quality of the manufacturer, the products sold through The Restoration Shoppe have been chosen with that in mind. Only the most trustworthy manufacturers—many of whom we know personally—have been selected as our vendors.
