3. The reason I can't trust any generic supplier

was expressed by customer service the last time I called one. I had called to ask about their product after another generic had caused intestinal bleeding. They said that their generic was safe for me at the time, but they reserved the right to change their inactive ingredients at any time without notice. This, it turns out, is a right all generic manufacturers have. They can change the filler to whatever works that they can get a good price on at the time.

Another generic manufacturer said they didn't purposely add the ingredient I react to, but they had no control over how the ingredients were handled in the overseas factories they came from, so they couldn't rule out contamination.
