NUTRACEUTICALS

All dietary supplements are not alike, especially when it comes to over-the-counter vitamins and minerals. However, pharmacy grade nutraceuticals are a smart investment in your health and wellbeing.

When it comes to store-bought vitamins and minerals, buyer beware. While many are perfectly fine, there are numerous factors that determine the effectiveness like:

​

  • Consistent storage temperatures, which are often compromised in warehouses and during transportation

  • Quality of ingredients, often reduced for discount brands and large quantities

  • Added fillers, potentially dangerous for those with autoimmune disorders 

  • Inaccurate dosage instructions, sometimes unnecessarily high for low-potency products

​

Nutraceuticals, on the other hand, are pharmacy-grade dietary supplements that are manufactured and distributed based on the same standards that prescriptions medications are held to. While the initial cost may be more expensive, they typically save money in the long-run. For example, studies have shown that 30 high-quality nutraceutical doses can be as effective as 120 over-the-counter ones. This is especially true for probiotics, where the active ingredients includes different strains of live cultures that have a short shelf life. There's also a huge difference in melatonin dosages. Three milligrams of a quality product can have the same results as 10 milligrams of a lower potency option with fillers.​
