Nutraceuticals

Most drugstores sell vitamins produced by huge corporations. Because the supplement industry is minimally regulated, their products are often full of added ingredients and fillers, and only contain a small percentage of the nutrient they are marketing. Pharmaceutical grade vitamins and nutraceuticals are produced in smaller batches, and rigorously tested by third party labs for quality and purity. They don’t have any dangerous or unnecessary added ingredients, and always contain high levels of the nutrients they claim. They are also formulated by expert chemists to be better absorbed by the body.

As with most things, you get what you pay for. For many reasons, pharmaceutical grade vitamins are far superior to lower cost vitamins you can find at regular retail, drug and grocery stores. They are high quality, with higher percentages of essential nutrients. What you see on the label and in their marketing is what you get, because these products have been stringently tested to ensure quality, purity, safety and effectiveness. While nutraceuticals may seem like a higher cost up front, their benefits and value make them the best — and healthiest — choice.

Even people who eat healthy, plant-based diets can be nutrient deficient. And often, people already taking supplements can still be low in important vitamin levels. This is due to an overwhelming amount of toxins and stressors in our everyday lives, which leads to gut health problems and malabsorption. A targeted and personalized nutraceutical supplement plan can address and correct these deficiencies, and it all starts with the Optimal Wellness Panel. Our advanced diagnostic blood test measures over 100 health markers, including vitamin, nutrient and mineral levels. This important test will let your doctor know which nutrient levels need to be optimized, so we can recommend the exact supplements that your body requires.
