Hey there, thanks so much for joining me on this edition of the Shaline Show, which dude you are going to freaking love.

Now we're going to talk about supplements today, so before we go there, let me say this.

This is not an episode about whether or not you should be taking supplements and which supplements to take.

This is an episode all about how to know if the supplements, the meal replacements, the protein shakes, the bars, the this, the that, that you are taking.

Does it actually contain what it says it contains?

And does it contain a bunch of other things that we don't want in our bodies? And how do we know?

You'll learn that and more in today's episode.

My interview today is with the founder of Labdor, Neil Thanondar.

Labdor is an independent company that actually tests supplements.

They find out whether products really have in them what they claim to have in them, and they also identify any harmful ingredients and contaminants that might be present in those things that were taking because you know that supplements are not regulated.

Basically, your neighbor can put sawdust in a capsule and tell you that it's going to heal your diabetes as a food supplement.

And there's nobody regulating that.

So it's really up to us, the consumers, which is great except that most of us aren't scientists.

Most of us don't have the ability to test what it is we're taking.

We have to rely on the claims and the companies that we trust.

That's why I love Labdor.

They actually grade and rank those products.

They write the reports.

You can actually click, go deeper and read the reports.

And then they publish that information for free.

They put the power in the hands of the consumer.
