Virginia Beach, VA (PRWEB) October 11, 2004

MyVitaminGuide.com (MVG), an online supplement encyclopedia helping consumers find the right supplements at the best price, announced today that it will host a completely unbiased vitamin and supplement website with no advertisements or product sales. Founded by supplement industry veteran and author of How to Buy Vitamins, Sam Knoll, http://www.MyVitaminGuide.com is a new twist on health resources, receiving all of its proceeds through user memberships. By removing the influence of vitamin and supplement companies and distributors, MVG can provide a complete resource where consumers can seek clear and credible advice about the role of supplements in their daily lives.

“Everyday I see new reports about health and health concerns. With the overwhelming amount of information that is out there, consumers are desperate for a single source of credible information on vitamins, herbs and supplements,” said Knoll. “We designed MVG to be an unbiased and uninfluenced site for people who care about their health and want to make informed decisions.”

In a 2002 survey conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than one-third of American adults had used at least one form of complementary or alternative medicine (CAM) in the previous 12 months. MVG helps consumers sort out all the confusing information related to nutritional supplements so they can decide which supplements, if any, they should be taking. More than 70% of MVG’s content is provided by medical professionals including doctors, naturopathic doctors, nutritionists, dieticians. MVG provides a wealth of information and resources including:

•    Vitamin/Supplement and Herbal Remedy Library – A complete encyclopedia of supplements and their uses. This resource also provides a rating system ranking the effectiveness of vitamins and herbal remedies as they relate to a broad spectrum of health concerns.

•    Brands Database – Complete product listing of well known and private label vitamins and supplements from major retailers and health food stores enabling direct comparisons in order to choose the right supplement at the right price.

•    Healthy You! Newsletter – Monthly newsletter of tips, recipes, research, and news from qualified medical professionals around the globe.

MVG is an online, subscription service empowering consumers to take control of their health by learning more about vitamins and supplements and making informed decisions. Run solely on member’s annual fee of $39.95, the site delivers on its promise of an unbiased, ad-free encyclopedia.
