There is so much junk in the supplement world, that I actually search for such recommendations from people I have grown to trust.

She doesn't have me 100% on solutions, but I do use her to keep me up on health issues. Offering another opinion in my homework. I have no problem with these spokes people making money to compensate their hours of giving - and after a few years of following, she doesn't have a greedy bone in her.

I work closely with a very honest R&D department - 39 years old - and we have found some amazing stuff on the store shelf. Let me give you one example of many: bottle was labeled 100% standardized Grape Seed Extract in a health food store - there was not one grape molecule in it. It was cherries.

A former White House nutritionist told our marketing team one year that 60% of the labels on the store shelf were dishonestly labeled. Ugh.

But, in this article - that same R&D department created our version of Calcium Complex and promotes the need for D and K2 to direct the benefits to the bones? They are prestigious scientists with no need to be greedy, only honest (they get paid well not based on the company sales)...so I find it hard to swallow her view point on this all being useless for our bones.

I am not familiar with grape seed extract and cherry seed extract as I do not frequent "health" food stores. I think I was in one once when looking for an oil used to teach my dog odor discrimination. That they did not have. I do know that grapes and raisins can kill a dog and cherry pits contain cyanide. The wild cherry behind my house provided lots of cherry pits. Fortunately, the dog I had who vacuumed them up did not crush them so they passed through intact.
