How to purchase quality supplements
As naturopathic physicians we often prescribe “OTC dietary supplements”. The term dietary supplement is actually a legal term, not a medical term. At times we refer to them as “natural medicines” or “nutraceuticals” or “nutritional supplements”, or just “supplements”.
So, what exactly is a supplement? Supplements range from herbs to minerals to homeopathic remedies to vitamins to phytonutrients (components of plants that are neither vitamins nor minerals) to orthomolecules (substances made by the body such as CoQ10) to unregulated drugs, and more. Basically, any substance that can exert a medicinal effect on the body, aside from a currently FDA regulated man-made patented drug, is a “supplement”.
Since no government body regulates the “supplement industry” how do you know whether what you are buying at the supermarket, drugstore, health food store or online is any good, or if it even contains what is says on the label? Some products have real slick marketing campaigns behind them and make it very enticing to purchase their product. Suffice it to say, it can be challenging making the appropriate choice for you and your family.
Your medical doctor will likely not be of much help since they are not trained in this area, and may tell you to stop taking supplements. The good news is, as naturopathic physicians we receive abundant formal training in nutritional biochemistry, herbal medicine, homeopathy and other therapies making us the go-to providers and experts in this area.
So, are there any good supplements out there? The answer is YES. At PWC, we pride ourselves on carrying products by only the most reputable brands. Most of the brands we carry in our in-house medicinary sell to physicians only. These brands, such as Designs for Health, Pure Encapsulations and Xymogen compete with and try to outperform each other. This results in the development of the best and most novel natural medicine formulations.
We constantly add and upgrade new supplements or natural medicines to our medicinary. We’ve recently revamped our medicinary to ensure we carry the highest quality products at the most affordable prices. The advantage of using top notch brands is that they have the highest therapeutic efficacy and safety profiles – meaning they are safe to use and they work.
