My rule of thumb is to never buy vitamins brands that are sold at Walmart or Target. They are packed with fillers and synthetics and most likely made in China. Find a good health food store or vitamin store (not GNC) An indication of a good vitamin shop is they usually have what I call a “vitamin sommelier” to help you find and select vitamins. Ask them questions. If they don’t know, they’ll look it up for you. Places I buy are Sprouts Market, Natural Grocers, Whole Foods, or find your local boutique “granola” shop if you’re lucky enough to have one near you. Some brands I know for certain made in USA are Green Pastures, Garden of Life, Nordic Naturals, Puritan’s Pride. Otherwise would have to double check brands (you need to check not just manufacturing location, but also where they source ingredients) before listing them here. I’ve been a huge fan of Jarrow for years, but just recently received an email from their corporate headquarters (they responded to my email asking why they had stopped manufacture of NAC Sustain) and the answer was effectually, “It was easier to fold than to fight the FDA” so I will be rethinking my relationship with them.
Thanks for the tip.

My search for quality vitamin supplements ended yesterday. No more manufactured nutrients. The Lovely and Talented Mrs. C and I decided hereon to get our nutrition from food.
I'm not going to slide off into that here. I've discussed it elsewhere on the forum beyond the trees.
There is actually quite a lot more. We have been researching and experimenting with diet and exercise for thirty years from the tropics to the arctic. As past abuses began to catch up to me in old age, the need intensified and solutions revealed themselves.
Carry on.
