What are supplements?
Supplements is a very vague term that applies to what we would call: amino acids, enzymes, herbs, minerals, oils, vegtables, vitamins, etc.
Is this the same as Functional Medicine?
Quite often supplements are used to assist a patient on their functional medicine journey. Should you decide to go the functional medicine route there is a lot more labs and tests that we would do to help us understand your current conditions. Please let us know if this is of interest to you as this will be a different course of action. Should you just have concerns or questions for a small amount of conditions such as: I have chronic dry eyes, what supplements are available to help with this? I have high blood pressure, are there any supplement that can support this condition?
Who do you use to dispense your supplements?
A majority of grocery stores, pharmacies, large super markets, and various websites offer an enormous amount of supplements from various manufacturers. We understand that the choices can be over whelming at time. There are also concerns about the quality of ingredients from these various places. We have elected to use a vendor called Full Script. We would be happy to assist you in finding the highest quality and economical supplements based on your needs.
What are the costs?
To better serve you, prior to your appointment please let us know if functional medicine is the route you would like to consider. On average a visit costs $100 to review your current health conditions to get an understanding of what may assist your conditions. We need some time to research and determine the right path for you for a supplement.
