Why supplements matter

Nourish your cells. Feel better faster.

While getting nutrients from food is top priority, the reality is that most American diets lack sufficient quantity of several essential nutrients. This can be due to the health of the soil, manufacturing processes (think processed food), nutrient losses that occur during storage and cooking, low variety in the diet, digestion issues, increased nutrient need for prescription medication processing or other increased metabolic stresses that create a higher demand for certain nutrients in a particular individual.

Nutrients commonly found to be low in the general population include: iron, iodine, vitamin D, vitamin B12, calcium and magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids.

Precision nutrition is an integral part of personalized wellness plans.

Dr. O’Neill’s foundational “core-five” for nutraceutical support are: a food-based multi-vitamin, magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, trace minerals and vitamin D with K2. Individualized dosing requirements of the core-five and additional personalized supplement recommendations are made based on clinical symptoms and lab evaluation.

Where you purchase supplements matters.

The supplement and wellness industry is poorly regulated; quality and purity varies widely across brands. Additionally, multiple government and corporate lead fraud investigations continue to find a high level of counterfeit professional grade supplements for sale at big box retailers and online warehouses.

It’s not uncommon for low-quality supplements and counterfeit supplements to contain ingredients not listed on the label, contain more or less of an active ingredient, contain no active ingredient, contain prescription medications, or contain harmful contaminants like heavy metals and man-made chemicals.

Whether they contain the wrong botanical species or are impersonating a genuine product, counterfeit supplements can cause illness and influence treatment plan success.

To assure supplement quality, ElementalMed has partnered with FullScript Dispensary to offer professional grade supplements and wellness products from trusted brands delivered directly to your home.

Products are sourced from the manufacturer and stored and shipped under quality control conditions. Fullscript also independently tests the products they distribute for quality assurances and to validate safety and efficacy label claims.
