      Hello, im in pharmacy school currently, doesn’t matter if its name brand for things like these. Its the same ingredients. Just make sure you check the labels and dosing before taking it. You’d be surprised how many people accidentally overdose on over the counter meds because they treat it more like candy than medicine

    Re Vitamins. I know a scientist who worked on the sewage treatment center. In the sewage were so many undigested recognizable ‘commercial’ vitamins.
    Get the most natural and organic form of supplements, if you take them. Check the label for sources, non-GMO, organic (mentioned twice for a reason) ,
    and the less other ingredients the better. Also, check the expiration dates and toss them when it is past their best by date. They go rancid. They do not last forever. That goes for anything with an expiration date. There are there for a reason. They do not good and may harm. Toss them.
