SUPPLEMENTS AND THEIR EFFICIENCY

Because functional medicine practitioners are committed to providing you the best care possible, they recommend professional supplements that are pharmaceutical grade supplements. Your doctor has many tools at their disposal, and they have opted to use nutraceuticals to support your journey to health.

Nutraceuticals are products that combine specific doses of naturally occurring ingredients and can be used in combination with other treatment modalities. If a product combines the correct dose with the best ingredients, you should expect it to help you get better faster than products that do not possess these two components. Reputable supplement companies are committed to developing evidence-based formulas with an uncompromising commitment to superior raw ingredients.

Therapeutic Dosing

The amount – or dose – of an ingredient is just as vital as the ingredient itself. If a product does not provide enough of the raw ingredient, it does not contain what is termed a “therapeutic amount.” It may be the right ingredient, but it won’t be enough to make a difference.

On the other hand, too much of an ingredient could make the product more expensive with no additional health benefits. Committed supplement companies develop and manufacture their own products, which offers a greater quality control and formulation based on the most current research.

Superior Raw Ingredients

Along with the correct formula, the raw ingredient used is equally important. There are many variables that separate superior raw ingredients form those that are just satisfactory. Some of these factors could include the portion of the plant that is used, the technique used in the manufacturing process, and the storage of raw materials or the form in which it is used.

Additional care should be taken to ensure the raw ingredients used in the final product have had rigorous testing to confirm that the ingredients are free of pathogen, heavy metals, economic adulterants and that the product contains the actual ingredients and amounts that are on the label. Reputable supplement companies are and will always be committed to using only superior ingredients when manufacturing their products.
