- "Patricia Ruggiero" < ruggierop < OGL Thursday, November 08, 2007 9:04 PMFW: Nature Made brand of supplements I don't use this brand, but I had reason to browse their website. As withCabot dairy and many other products, the consumer "information" isremarkable for all the things it *doesn't* say. So I asked. And got thefollowing reply (appended below). How can we know that their quality control methods are as rigorous as thecompany claims? Note, too, the use of a GM ingredient. Not exactly, um, "nature made."
