With over 41,000 Dietary Supplements on the market, it can be challenging to determine which brand is safe and effective to take.  Since the vitamin industry is unregulated, it is not uncommon for products to become adulterated, to contain ingredients not listed on the label, or contain less than what is listed on the label.  For example, Informed Choice, a 3rd party testing lab evaluated 58 protein powders from popular retail stores and found 25% contain steroids and 11% contain stimulants not listed on the label.  We wanted to ensure our patients and customers receive the highest quality when looking for a vitamin or supplement.

The Ochsner Vitamins and Supplements line consist of high-quality, private-label vitamins and supplements approved by Ochsner's own Physician Advisory Board.  Ochsner Vitamins are created in an NSF-certified Good Manufacturing Practice laboratory to ensure all of our products and raw materials are tested for purity, efficacy and safety prior to formulation.  Because Ochsner's name is on the label, you can be certain that almost 70 years of unparalleled clinical expertise and quality outcomes stands behind what is in the bottle.

Because vitamins and supplements are not regulated by the FDA, "there is a big potential difference in quality control between various brands," says Carl "Chip" Lavie, M.D. Medical Director, Cardiac Rehabilitation and Prevention, John Ochsner Heart and Vascular Institute.  "It was essential that Ochsner's products be something consumers can trust."
