Comparative Guide
NutriSearch Corporation is a Canadian company specializing in nutrition and health research, focussed primarily on multiple vitamin and mineral supplementation.
Our main product is the NutriSearch Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements ™, which examines current research on the health benefits of supplementation for prevention of degenerative disease. The guide also includes comparisons of broad-spectrum supplements available in various markets around the world, including Canada and the US (in our Professional Edition), North and South America (our new Guide for the Americas), and a combined edition for Australia and New Zealand. The Professional Edition is larger and includes additional scientific information; it is intended for health professionals and consumers looking to learn more about nutrition and health. Our Americas and ANZ guides are more consumer-friendly but contain most of the same content and, of course, product comparisons for their respective regions.
