The coverage gap most often missed
The gap most often missed by supplement stores is private label. Once a product carries the store's name, the store is treated as the manufacturer, and many retail products forms or vendor endorsements may not respond — and the OxyElite case shows retailers get named even when they didn't make the product. Schedule private-label sales and confirm the contract maker covers you.
