Natural Supplements
As a service to patients, we make pharmaceutical grade nutritional supplements available in our office. We purchase these products only from manufacturers who have gained our confidence through considerable research and experience. We determine quality by considering the quality of science behind the product and the quality of the product components. The brands of supplements that we carry in our clinic are those that meet our high standards and tend to produce predictable results. While these supplements may come at higher financial cost than those found on the shelves of pharmacies or health food stores, the value must also include assurance of their purity, quality, bioavailability (ability to be properly absorbed and utilized by the body) and effectiveness. The chief reason we make these products available is to ensure quality. You are not guaranteed the same level of quality with over the counter. There is a lack of stringent testing requirements for dietary supplements over the counter, therefore, product quality varies widely. Some types of products we carry are:
- Multivitamins and Minerals and Prenatal Vitamins
- Probiotics
- Omega 3 Products including fish oils
- Botanicals/Herbs
- Homeopathics
- Meal Replacement Proteins
- Organ Specific Formulations, ie. adrenal or thyroid
