Dunno where you heard that Swanson doesn't have good quality. I use a whole bunch of Swanson's products, and I have never had a complaint with their quality or effectiveness. Swanson has passed all the lab tests done by Consumer Labs(an independent supplement testing lab) for purity and having what is stated on the label in the amounts stated, and digestibility, and all the other tests done, including lead content. Some of the higher priced name brands have failed those tests. So high price does not = quality. I can say for a fact from using Swanson products that Swanson products are a very good to excellent quality, I don't have to depend on he said, she said, they said. If a supplement maker produces a product that is inferior or ineffective, and I give supps at least a three month trial before I call it quits, I don't waste my money on their products, and I could care less whose name is pasted on the label.

That being said, I also use products from Mountain Rose Herbs, 1Fast400, and I'm going to purchase some things from some other places that have been recommended to me with decent prices to check their quality as well.

In comparing with prices with iherb, it appears to me, Swanson's prices are better - for the most part.

I have had no trouble with any Swanson brand product. It is true that at ConsumerLab, various products have tested poorly (lead contamination, not containing stated amount of active ingredients, and other problems) but I have seen one or two products from nearly every brand fail testing at some point. Even the premium brands like Life Extension and others. Because a product or brand is low priced is no guarantee of poor quality and being very high priced does not guarantee high quality either.
Swanson ships relatively quickly too.
We also have had good luck with Puritan's Pride products, but many of their own brand items contain inactive ingredients to which I am allergic, so what I can use from them is more limited. I have also gotten some good things from VitaCost some very good buys in their NSI brand with the exact formula of higher priced brands.
