Prostate supplements: What it takes to be the best

It’s a question that every member of the XY Wellness community has likely asked at least once: What are the best prostate cancer supplements? And needless to say, there’s more than one right answer.

 

For starters, while a number of individual ingredients have decades of published research to support their role in prostate health, nutraceuticals don’t work in isolation. The most effective supplement regimens feature a comprehensive array of vitamins, minerals, and botanicals that work in tandem to support whole body health.

 

At XY Wellness, our focus isn’t on prostates—it’s on people. Real people, facing real diagnoses, just like you. That’s why our integrative roadmap includes all the fundamental elements of wellness—from nutrition and exercise to sleep and stress management.  

 

It’s also why all of our exclusive formulas and regimen kits are designed to address each of our customer’s concerns from multiple directions. Our goal is to help you thrive in your journey toward better health—no matter where you’re starting out.

 

But that’s just one side of the equation when it comes to quality. And in order for any supplement to qualify as being “the best,” good manufacturing practices must be a big part of the picture.     

 

Quality control: What it is, and why it matters

 

Simply put, quality control (QC) of dietary supplement manufacturing guarantees that the ingredients listed on the label are in the bottle.

 

Supplement manufacturers are responsible for evaluating the safety and labeling of their products to ensure that they meet federal regulations before marketing. However, supplement companies with poor manufacturing practices may have contaminated products with microbes, high heavy metals, or prescription drugs.

 

For example, it is common for some male sexual enhancement supplements to contain drugs like Viagra in them without being listed on the label. The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) only becomes involved if a product is found to be adulterated or misbranded once it has already reached the market.

 

How do you know if your supplements are safe?

 

Dietary supplements are required by law to follow Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), which ensures that products contain what they are labeled to contain and are not contaminated with harmful or undesirable impurities.

 

As mentioned earlier, the FDA only spot-checks manufacturing facilities if a product has a problem. Hence, companies hire third-party organizations like NSF International (NSF), US Pharmacopeial Convention (USP), or UL Solutions (UL) for routine visits to manufacturing facilities to ensure products that have successfully passed an analysis of their quality, safety, performance, and claims of benefit are issued a U.S.-registered certification mark.

 

Third-party testing agencies are not required by law. But reputable companies will always take that extra measure to help guarantee the dietary supplements produced to contain the ingredients in the product labeling without contaminants.

 

XY Wellness Nutraceuticals are quality-assured

 

At XY Wellness, we give careful attention to combining the best vitamin, mineral, and botanical ingredients for specific health needs. In addition, the manufacturing facility where XY Wellness dietary supplements are packaged is overseen by Michael Schaeffer, a reputable nutritional supplement manufacturer who has been in the industry for over 30 years.

 

Finally, along with testing all raw materials independently for impurities, Michael's manufacturing facility is frequently spot checked by a third-party agency UL Solutions, to guarantee good GMP. (To listen to a detailed interview with Michael on the "A to Z" steps required to develop a quality supplement on the shelf, listen to our Medical Director Dr. Geo’s interview with him on any podcast platform or YouTube.)

 

The bottom line 

 

The best prostate supplements are the ones that work as part of an integrated program that also includes diet, exercise, and other lifestyle elements. That’s always going to be the case, no matter what your health goals are.

 

But the highest quality nutraceuticals are also held to the highest manufacturing standards. Dietary supplements at XY Wellness are formulated with your specific health needs in mind in a GMP-compliant facility with quality control practices second to none.

 

And if you ask us, they don’t get better than that.

 

Until next time,
