Here are some of the great nutritional products we carry for your wellness.

Do We Really Need Nutritional Supplements?

  • Even with the best intentions and the most careful planning, daily consumption of commercially processed foods grown in nutrient-deficient soils will not provide us with the quality of nutrition we require for a lifetime of optimal health. Simply put, if the nutrients are not in our soils, they are not in our foods; and if they are not in our foods, they are not in our bodies.” Nutrisearch Comparative Guide to Nutrional Supplements. 2007.
  • Many prescription medications can deplete nutrients hence the requirement for a supplement. People with or at risk of certain medical conditions need higher doses of specific nutrients. If you have specific questions about your medications or medical conditions, we’re here to help.
  • “Insufficient vitamin intake is apparently a cause of chronic disease. Recent evidence has shown that suboptimal levels of vitamins (below standard), even well above those causing deficiency syndromes, are risk factors for chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and osteoporosis. A large proportion of the general population is apparently at increased risk for this reason.” Journal of the American Medical Association Jun 19, 2002.
    Consider this: “Store asparagus for 1 week and 90% of its vitamin C is gone. Blanch vegetables or fish lose up to one half of their B-complex vitamins and vitamin C is lost”
  • In a 2003 study, adults who took multivitamins fell ill to infection far less frequently than those who took placebo. The differences were even more pronounced in those who had type 2 diabetes. Klatz R, Goldman R. Vitamins, Co-vitamins and Cofactors. Anti-aging Revolution. 2003 p.169-204.
  • Researchers compared cardiac death rates from several interventions to treat high cholesterol. They found that the greatest benefit was obtained from fish oil, which provided a 23% reduction in the overall risk of death. Archives of Internal Medicine. April 2005.

Advanced Orthomolecular Research (AOR)

AOR has an established reputation in Canada as the most advanced supplement formulator in the country. Mainstays of the supplement market today – such as glucosamine sulfate for joint structure and S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) for support of balanced mood and thought patterns – were first brought to the Canadian market by AOR. And the company has continued to innovate over the years, making its line consistent in its record of putting science-backed natural health products into the hands of health practitioners and into the lives of patients, years ahead of their secondary acceptance by the mainstream dietary supplement industry.

Douglas Labs Products

In 1955, Sam Lioon, founded Douglas Laboratories on a simple promise: provide the highest quality nutritional supplements available with the highest level of personal service—anywhere. Today that legacy lives on as Douglas Laboratories is supported by more than 300 Douglas Laboratories employees, all dedicated to keeping the promise Sam made 50 years ago. “Raising the Standard” is more than a slogan—it’s a promise.

Genestra Brands

Exceptional quality, consistency, stability and reliability.

Genestra Brands supplements support individualized treatment plans with a 350+ professional-grade products offering in a variety of formats, proven safe, effective and reliable for over 30 years, backed by clinical or traditional evidence.

Metagenics

For over 20 years, Metagenics has been the most trusted name in professional nutritional supplements. Their products are only available through licensed healthcare practitioners—practitioners who understand and recognize the importance of quality nutritional formulas to help patients achieve and maintain a lifetime of good health.

OMEGABRITE

Omegabrite is a concentrated high EPA , pharmaceutical grade, omega 3 fatty acid supplement from fatty fish oil. Every production lot of Omegabrite is independently tested at a certified lab for mercury and other toxins. It has won Consumerslab.com’s seal of approval by exceeding its highest standards for purity, potency, and accurate label claims.

Spatone

The iron in Spatone is highly absorbable. It is not actually how much iron we consume that matters but the amount of iron that our body is able to absorb. It has been shown that the iron absorption from Spatone is up to 40%. This is much higher than the iron absorption from food sources (5 – 20%). Spatone is thus a highly effective source of iron which can be consumed to help prevent iron deficiency. Spatone – 100% natural – nothing added everything gained.

Thorne Research

Practitioners have become accustomed to seeing the vague “We use only the purest ingredients” in the promotional materials of almost every dietary supplement company. Perhaps these companies truly believe that. Perhaps they don’t know any better. Nevertheless, Thorne Research, for more than 25 years, has been the standard by which companies in the industry are judged for product purity. Practitioners rely on Thorne as the company they trust for their extremely allergic, chemically sensitive, and immune-compromised patients.
