About The New York Buyers’ Club Blog
This Blog is edited by staff, volunteers and members of the New York Buyers’ Club, a non-profit co-op and information exchange founded in 2004 to help people buy the supplements they need in order to manage their health, and also find reliable information on how best to use supplements.
The idea of a purchasing co-op is simple: a group of people can pool their purchasing power and in that way get better quality products for lower prices. That’s why you’ll find very reasonable prices in the NYBC Catalog–often lower than any commercial vendor can offer. Moreover, given the tremendous range of products available in the marketplace, the co-op’s ability to critically evaluate and compare suppliers ensures that its members receive quality products and not just a quick pick off the shelf. (We regularly review reports on supplement quality from sources like Consumer Labs, and periodically demand certificates of analysis from suppliers.)
Our information services are the byproduct of many years of study, research and personal experience with the use of dietary supplements, especially as they apply to the management of chronic conditions. You’ll find on the NYBC website and within this Blog references to current research on dietary supplements, interpreted and discussed for the benefit of co-op members. The goal: to make the best-informed views on dietary supplements accessible to those who choose to use them to maintain and improve their health.
Note: the New York Buyers’ Club is a 501(c)3 organization, recognized as a tax-exempt non-profit by the IRS, and welcomes contributions to aid its mission.
