Who are the major domestic & international supplement manufacturers? And the differences between them!

If you are interested in supplements or are currently using supplements, have you ever paid attention to the manufacturer of the supplements? In fact, the quality of supplements that are intended to provide the same nutrients can vary depending on the manufacturer. In this article, we will introduce the major manufacturers of supplements, both domestic and overseas!

What is the difference between domestic and international supplement manufacturers?

Domestic and international supplement manufacturers differ greatly in quality, product lineups, and prices, so it is important to know about the differences before making a purchase. Basically, major overseas supplement manufacturers are concentrated in the “United States,” which is also known as the leading supplement country, so it is easy to understand the differences by comparing them with American supplement manufacturers. Incidentally, people tend to think that “foreign supplements are dangerous,” but this is a complete misconception. However, since they contain larger amounts of ingredients than domestic supplements, there are cases in which incorrect intake can lead to health problems, so care should be taken.

American supplements are actually the safest in the world!

While Japanese supplements are an extension of food, American supplements are treated as a unique position between medical products and food. In the U.S., the FDA, the equivalent of Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, has established GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices), and only supplements that have obtained this GMP are distributed. This is a mechanism that ensures that only supplements with a high level of product safety are distributed. Incidentally, since American supplements are legally required to disclose all ingredients contained in them, even those with allergies or religious reasons can use them with peace of mind.

Domestic manufacturers for ease of purchase and ease of taking!

Many people say that foreign supplements are not made for Japanese people and that they are “not suitable for their bodies” or that the “grains” in the supplements are “too big. In this respect, supplements manufactured in Japan are designed to be easy to take. In fact, most domestic supplements are made based on research conducted in the United States. Because of the benefits of the U.S., the safety of domestically produced supplements is guaranteed. However, it is important to keep in mind that since Japan has not acquired mandatory GMP standards or required the labeling of all ingredients as in the U.S., there are many products in which it is impossible to know what is in the product and how much is in the product.
