Nutraceuticals/ Supplements:
Nutraceuticals are high-quality supplements that bridge the gap between food and medicine, providing concentrated nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds to support specific health goals. Unlike standard multivitamins, nutraceuticals are often designed for targeted effects, addressing concerns such as inflammation, gut health, immune function, or hormonal balance.
In practice, nutraceuticals allow us to optimize your body’s healing potential by addressing deficiencies or enhancing key physiological processes. For example, we can use Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotid (NAD) to enhance cell function, Quercetin to stabilize mast cells, Berberine for its blood sugar-regulating properties, etc.
We select nutraceuticals with precision, tailoring them to your unique needs based on comprehensive assessments and labwork. By integrating them into your care plan, we can deliver powerful results that complement your lifestyle and help you achieve lasting health.
A Note About Quality Control:
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Health Canada are the government organizations that oversee the regulation of dietary supplements and natural health products in the United States and Canada, respectively. However, dietary supplements are not as strictly regulated as pharmaceutical medications, and many supplements lack transparency regarding purity, quality, and safety.
Good Manufacturing Practices are standards implemented by the FDA and developed with the intent to protect consumers and allow all supplement manufacturers and resellers of supplements to eliminate the presence of unsafe and incorrect ingredients in their products.
2nd Nature partners with the top professional-grade brands that are compliant with cGMP standards, and have undergone rigorous third party testing. 2nd Nature emphasizes the importance of sourcing, and does not recommend products without first understanding the quality, origin, and sustainability of the raw materials used to manufacture dietary supplements.
