CSMarketing 101
Dee: Of course I do not advocate paying more. Not now or ever. NOW and other large supplement manufacturers are in cahoots with the FDA to drive smaller manufacturers out of business so that these larger companies can have the market to themselves. THEN they WILL raise prices because where else will you go to buy supplements? So let's get it straight. Competition helps to keep prices low. Eliminate the competition (with the help of the FDA) and prices will rise, probably substantially. So I am against eliminating the competitive smaller vitamin manufacturers. SO, to help keep the smaller vitamin manufacturers in business I will support them instead of supporting greedy, monopolistic companies like NOW. NOW has kept their prices low to attract business and become the large company they are today. All that will change in a heartbeat once they get rid of their competition. Someone asked about finding smaller drug comapnies to buy from. There are plenty of them and probably at good prices too. Anyone can go to any number of online outlets like Swanson's or Vitacost or iHerb, etc., etc., etc., and find supplements marketed by companies other than NOW. It is not difficult. Mr. Byron, the author of the heads up article, is a small vitamin company himself, and he does not want to be strong-armed out of business. I do not blame him in the least. There is a Health Store not far from my home that has only a small section in their store that offers NOW products, so evidently they are not strong supporters of NOW either. I compliment them. Monopolistic practices disadvantage the customer tremendously, and this country is swimming in them. Faith G. .. Subject: Re: CSNOW and the FDA So you advocate paying more *now* then! What is the difference? Plus not *all* small companies are so ethical either, given the chance they want to be in with the big league as well eventually, so again, what is the difference?

Re: CSMarketing 101
I get my Now products from iHerb at the moment. Its just that Now was recommended by a laboratory (forgotten which) that makes high quality supplements and uses their products, along with others. If I stop using them, it means I have to go back to trying to ascertain which product is good as well as cheap. For instance, Now is the only one I have found which sells selenium as l-selenomethionine in that form, and for very reasonable cost. It was also the only one I came across which does mag citrate for reasonable cost. If anyone can come up with an alternative equally good product from a small company, then I would consider it, but as I said, what when the 'little' guys become one of the 'big' guys, will they not be in the same position as companies like Now are at the moment? Who knows, money has a way of changing things, not always for the better. And as someone said, how do we *know* which is a small company, apart from higher prices usually?

Hi Faith, I have been onto the Swansons site and it looks really, really good! Wish I had known about it before. Their food state multi vit looks great and they also do the l-selenomethionine form of selenium.
