SPECIALTY SUPPLEMENTS
Browse a complete A-Z list of our supplements
We stock supplements as a convenience to our clients. Since our consultations often recommend supplementation as an adjunct to diet and lifestyle adjustments, our clients often prefer to order from us rather than go out looking for individual supplements.
We don’t exclusively promote particular companies or brands.
The supplements you get from us come from various companies. Primarily we’re interested in what works–which supplements give the best results. Certain brands are chosen for purity, lack of harmful additives or effectiveness. Cost is also important, and to offset cost, when there are several brands that compare equally we stock the least expensive of the ones available.
Nevertheless, where cost and quality clash,
we’ve selected quality–
a decision we feel is of utmost importance
when results are your primary concern.
Here’s an example:
The vitamin E we offer comes in a bottle of 60 capsules, and sells for $24.99. But if you were to go to your local grocery store, you may find vitamin E selling for $20.99 for a bottle of 300! That’s a big difference, and on the surface, you’d think you could save a lot of money. But there’s a reason for it.
The cheaper bottle, in this instance, is a synthetic vitamin that likely contains any one of a variety of synthetic forms such as dl-alpha tocopheryl acetate. This form is only 70% as effective as natural vitamin E, and has a further deficiency:
The cheaper, dl-alpha tocopheryl acetate doesn’t become vitamin E until it enters the body after passing through the intestinal tract. However, you want vitamin E to work in the intestinal tract also, because that’s where most free radicals are produced. An excess of free radicals–if not neutralized by vitamin E and other antioxidants–can lead to colon cancer and other intestinal problems such as diverticulosis.
The cheaper vitamin E does provide some vitamin E functions, but not as efficiently. It fails miserably in halting inflammation, because it lacks gamma tocopherol, which is needed to neutralize the free radical that causes chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation can cause–among other problems–thrombosis (blood clots), which can lead to heart attack and stroke.
The vitamin E that we carry occurs in the natural d alpha, beta, gamma and delta tocopherol forms that together overcome all the problems of synthetic vitamin E.
So, you see how much more value you get from the correct vitamin E? The vitamin E that we carry has everything you need. The same is true for each brand of supplement that we recommend.
When you order your supplements from us,
you know that each one is chosen
to provide the best results for you.
Obviously, if you want to obtain your supplements on your own, you’ll need to educate yourself about the many options that exist, just like with vitamin E. If you decide to purchase them from us, you’ll know that we’ve already done that research for you.
