It can be challenging to find high quality supplements because manufacturers are not required to prove that what is printed on the label is actually what is in the product. Not only that, they are not required to show that their product can be digested and absorbed by the body. Most studies show that maybe 5% of supplements are even absorbed by the body. Most supplements contain fillers such as magnesium stearate and titanium dioxide which can block absorption of nutrients.
I have found some professional quality supplements that have been verified to contain what is on the label and have been scientifically designed to be absorbed by the body. They don't contain fillers that block absorption and are hypoallergenic. Because of their quality, many of these supplements are only available from health care professionals. I am pleased to be able to offer my patients some of these quality supplements. I currently offer:
Perque Life Guard - a multiple vitamin and mineral supplement. Studies show that over 92% of Americans are deficient in at least one vitamin or mineral. Because of the scientific design of Perque Life Guard, 2 tablets are equal to 100 tablets of vitamins such as One-A-Day, Centrum, or Theragram. I can recommend this to all my patients.
Nordic Naturals Artic D Cod Liver oil - Omega 3 fish oil - Studies show that over 99% of Americans are deficient in omega 3 oils. I can recommend this to all my patients who don't eat several servings of oily fish a week. This product is also a great source of vitamin D.
Perque D3 Cell Guard - Vitamin D3 - Studies show that over 80% of Americans are deficient in vitamin D. I can recommend this to my patients in which I've confirmed through bloodwork that their vitamin D levels are low.
Nordic Naturals ProOmega LDL - Fish oil with red rice yeast. Studies shows that red rice yeast safely lowers LDL cholesterol. I recommend this to my patients who have high LDL cholesterol
Perque Bone Guard Forte - Calcium, vitamin D, and 18 other bone building vitamins and minerals - Perque offers a money back guarantee if your bone density scan (DEXA scan) doesn't show improvement in 2 years. I recommend this to my patients with osteopenia or osteoporosis.These products are only available online to my patients through Emerson Ecologics.
