Nutritional
Health
Degenerative
diseases, including cancer, heart attacks, strokes, diabetes,
Alzheimer's dementia, macular degeneration, Parkinson's disease and a
host of others have become the major causes of death and reduced
quality of life in our country. At Utah Weight Loss & Natural
Hormone Clinic we can teach you ways to provide your body with the
defense mechanisms necessary to minimize the impact of the toxic
environment in which we live.
The need for Nutritional Supplements
"Most
people do not consume an optimal amount of all vitamins by diet alone.
Pending strong evidence of effectiveness from randomized trials, it
appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements."
(Journal of the American Medical Association, 6-19-2002; 287 (23):
3127–3129).
The enemy: Oxidative stress
A vast body of double-blind placebo studies
published in journals such as JAMA, New England Journal of
Medicine, British Lancet, and Annuals of Internal Medicine
points to oxidative stress, caused by
free radicals in the system, as the root cause of many degenerative
diseases such as heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, cancer, arthritis,
Alzheimer’s dementia, macular degeneration, lupus, MS, fibromyalgia,
chronic fatigue, and a host of others.
The Solution: Cellular Nutrition
Our own bodies
are our greatest weapon in fighting off the effects of oxidative
stress, but in order to do the job, they need proper cellular
nutrition. In order to be effective, any nutritional supplements must
meet the following criteria:
- They should meet pharmaceutical Good Manufacturing
Practices (GMP), which are far more stringent than the food GMP
requirements set by the U.S. government for supplements. This
guarantees that what you see on the label is what you are getting in
the bottle.
- They should be formulated based on the
latest medical research, with emphasis on providing the maximum
bioavailability of essential nutrients.
- They should meet or exceed USP standards
for purity, potency and dissolution where applicable.
- If at all possible, they should be listed in the Physician's
Desk Reference, the reference of choice for doctors who
need an accurate overview of prescription and non-prescription
pharmaceutical products.
There are so many
choices... How do I know what to take?
In years past it was
our practice to send our patients to a health food store for a long
list of supplements with specified dosing for each. This was
time-consuming, inconvenient and expensive. Extensive research
demonstrated that the supplements which are rated No.1 by the
independent Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements
in the United States and Canada meet all of the above requirements and
provide more concentrated nutritional support at a fraction of the
cost. These products were also rated "Best
of State" in Utah for several years running. As a
result, we now recommend these products to all our patients.
