FRESH AND FULL POTENCY
HOW TO BE CERTAIN
Here are five facts you should know before you begin taking any supplements.
1. It's not that one expects vitamin manufacturers to hold to pharmaceutical drug standards. But present laws need to be enforced to require that labels provide accurate information.
2. Doctors who prescribe nutrients should be aware of the individual patient's health and any prescriptions. This is why I always listen to my patient and ask questions about present and past health issues and concerns. Then I order a blood test looking for specific deficiencies and put together a vitamin and supplement program designed for that individual.
3. Doctors prescribing supplements need to know the reliable manufacturers and compounders. Mine are of the highest order.
4. Big Box stores can have potential freshness and potency problems. Supplements may be sitting on a loading dock or store shelf for long periods and potentially lose potency. Fish oil and similar oil supplements are especially vulnerable as the oil becomes rancid.
5. Both doctor and patient must watch for the results of vitamin therapy and assess if the type and dosage are appropriate.
As a
medical doctor who has worked in the area of vitamin supplement therapies for decades, I request chemical assays and organic status from each of my manufacturers.
