On-line Store and Resource Center Opens at Still Mountain!
I am very pleased to announce the opening of my On-line Store that will offer you and your family the highest quality nutritional supplements at discount prices shipped directly to your home. As part of the store you will also have free access to a state-of-the-art website to get reliable, up-to-date information on a wide range of supplements that is searchable, easy to use, and can be personalized to address your particular interests.
I am frequently asked what kind of natural supplements can be used to treat a particular medical condition or to promote optimal well-being. As many of you know I believe the foundation of good health is built on the four cornerstones of correct breathing, excellent nutrition, regular exercise and supportive relationships. These should be the focus of your health efforts. That said, there are a number of diseases and common ailments that can be greatly improved with specific nutritional supplements, and they can play an important role in prevention and wellness. With the right supplements one’s reliance on drugs and attendant risks of side effects can be minimized and in some cases eliminated entirely.
However, the supplement industry suffers from notoriously poor quality control. This is particularly true of products derived from natural sources such as plants and fish oils. Often what is on the label and what is in the bottle are not the same, and freshness and contamination can also be issues. Although this would be illegal with pharmaceuticals, it is sadly commonplace among supplement suppliers. (A brief visit to http://www.consumerlab.com/ , an independent testing company, is enlightening). It does you no good, not to mention waste your money, to use mislabeled, inferior products. The only solution I have found to this problem is to use a brand that you can trust. When it comes to your health, quality is everything.
I have been using Metagenics products in my practice for over twelve years and have found them to be an exceptional company. They have been in business since 1983 and are truly a leader in the field, setting the bar for quality and effectiveness within the natural health industry. They are one of the few companies to receive the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) from the Natural Products Association, as well as National Sanitation Foundation (NSF International) and the Therapeutic Goods Administration of Australia. What this means is that all raw materials undergo stringent material selection and extensive testing for purity and quality – expenses that most companies forego. In addition they have a team of physicians and researchers who conduct clinical trials and publish cutting edge research in peer-reviewed journals on the products they develop.
