We use lab testing and symptom analysis to guide our patients in selecting appropriate professional herbal formulas and vitamin, mineral, amino acid and enzyme supplements. We compare brands and offer recommendations on supplements based on published science as well as absorbability, potency, purity and price.

I see the results of insufficient nutrition and its effect on mind and body in my patients. I use vitamin, mineral, amino acid and enzyme supplements in treating my patients (and in maintaining my own health!). Physicians are realizing that yes, supplements can be important.
