What are “Professional Grade Supplements”?

Professional Pharmaceutical grade supplements have been produced under the Food and Drug Administrations (FDA) Current Good Manufacturing Processes. This means the FDA is inspecting and regulating their Brands and facilities and that these companies meet FDA standards.

Why use “Professional Grade Supplements”?

It is important to know what you put in your body.
I recommend purchasing only Professional grade supplements, to ensure quality, purity, and that ALL supplements and raw materials are found to be free of heavy metals and other contaminants.  And that scientific testing shows the purity that the products within the bottle match exactly the label.

What are  some of my favorite brands of supplements and herbs?

I tend to use brands that have a long-term documented strict quality assurance program, above what most companies on the market do and exceed FDA requirements.  I have spent many years evaluating companies. In my practice, I tend to use Pure Encapsulations, Douglas Labs, Klaire Labs/Prothera, Gaia Herbs, Integrative Therapeutics, Nordic Naturals, NFH, Vitanica, Orthomolecular, Allergy Research Group, Thorne, Innate Response, Vital Nutrients, Designs for Health, Xymogen and a few others.

Why does it matter where a person purchases supplements online?  Are there counterfeit supplements being sold?

With the news showing that many non-professional brand and over the counter supplements are not what they claim on the label, and/or have contaminants. And there is other news showing that some online resources/sellers, have inadvertently sold counterfeit products, it is important to know how and where to purchase products that are committed to consistently high standards.

Where can a person buy Professional Grade Supplements?

Wellevate and Fullscript– These are distributorships that have along record of quality assurance and relationships with high quality certified supplement companies. They are also HIPAA compliant for privacy.

Or

You can often purchase directly from some of the companies.
