Swanson: who makes it
Swanson Health Products is based in Fargo, North Dakota, in the United States, and has been selling supplements since 1969. The brand is known for a large catalogue with many single-ingredient products, so one ingredient often comes in several doses and forms. In Lithuania the brand is searched for as "Swanson supplements" or just "Swanson".
What we sell from Swanson
Our range currently holds 52 Swanson products. The biggest groups are Probiotics, Coenzyme Q10, Collagen and lutein in Eye Vitamins and Lutein, followed by Magnesium, Ashwagandha, Berberine, Iron and Omega-3. The table shows how many products sit in each group.
Because Swanson often sells the same ingredient in several strengths, open the group page and sort by dose and price per day. Single minerals and vitamins are also collected on the Minerals and Vitamins pages.
Reading a Swanson label: servings and US values
Swanson designs its labels for the US market. The panel is called Supplement Facts, amounts are given per serving, and a serving is sometimes two capsules. Check the serving size first, then the number of servings the directions suggest per day. The percentage on a US panel is the Daily Value (DV) set by the US FDA. In the EU the equivalent is the NRV from Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011, and the numbers differ: vitamin D 20 µg against 5 µg, magnesium 420 mg against 375 mg, zinc 11 mg against 10 mg.
The packs we sell carry an EU label, and our product pages show the percentage of the EU NRV. The form of the ingredient is written in brackets, for example magnesium (as magnesium citrate). The line that counts is the elemental amount, not the weight of the compound. Where an ingredient has no NRV, such as coenzyme Q10 or probiotic strains, we show only the amount.
Original products and where they come from
We are not an official Swanson distributor. We buy Swanson products from a distributor in the European Union and sell them in the manufacturer's original packaging, with an EU-compliant label. The best-before date is shown on every product page.
Questions
Are Swanson supplements original?
Yes. They are made by Swanson and reach us through an EU distributor. We are a retailer, not an official distributor of the brand.
Where can I buy Swanson in Lithuania, Latvia or Estonia?
In this shop. We sell to customers in all three countries, and each product page shows the price per day next to the pack price.
Why does one Swanson ingredient come in so many doses?
The catalogue is large, so the same ingredient appears in several strengths and pack sizes. Compare the amount per daily dose and the price per day rather than the pack price.
Are the percentages the same as on swansonvitamins.com?
No. The US site uses the US Daily Value, we use the EU NRV. Compare the amounts in mg or µg and the results line up.
Can I combine Swanson products with other brands?
Add up the ingredient amounts from each label and keep the total below the upper limits on the relevant category page. If you take medicines regularly, ask a pharmacist first.
How many capsules make one Swanson serving?
It depends on the product and is printed under Serving Size on the label. It ranges from one capsule to several. The product page states the daily dose in capsules, and the price per day is calculated from it.
