Nutritional Supplements

Why do I need a professional brand of vitamin to obtain optimum health?

Research has shown that 50% of people taking supplements over the counter do not adequately absorb them and remain deficient. Furthermore, it has been shown that insufficient intake of vitamins is a risk factor for chronic diseases.

The recommended daily requirements (RDI) for vitamins are based on preventing major diseases such as scurvy (a disease due to lack of vitamin C) and pellagra (a bone deformity as a result of vitamin D deficiency). Most people do not consume optimal amounts of all the vitamins by diet alone. This is because produce no longer contains all of the essential nutrients due to over farming, which depletes and soil of nutrients.

To make life more interesting, many pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter medications deplete your body of essential vitamins and nutrients. I offer specialized testing to determine all the vitamin and nutrient deficiencies.

Although it is tempting to use supplements that are more economical, keep in mind that you are only going to get what you pay for. The place to economize is not with your health.

There are several things you should look for in your multivitamin. Among the most important are: therapeutic levels of the compounds proven to be effective, compounds in their bioavailable form to ensure that you are actually absorbing and using what you're ingesting and synergistic combinations that work together toward optimal health.

Think of high-quality multivitamin and mineral supplements as the foundation of your health program. I encourage you to have testing to determine if you have nutritional deficiencies. I offer a vast array of nutritional supplements, which I have personally selected to obtain optimum health.
