Supplements

Why are supplements so important?

Every part of our bodies need certain nutrients. The brain feeds primarily off cholesterol and sugar, the lungs need magnesium, etc. To have optimum function of your body it needs the right nutrients in the right form for maximum absorption. Take calcium for example, it is recommended often by many physicians. However, not just any old calcium will do. Did you know that many calcium supplements are comprised of calcium carbonate? Calcium carbonate is NOT absorbable in the human digestive tract.

Not as easy as it looks, huh? Well, at Optimum Wellness we utilize only the brands of supplements and nutritional products that we have found to work the best and the ones that Dr. Jones uses for his own personal use and for his family. In essence, we see our patients as part of our family so we want to provide the best we possibly can to support you on your journey to health and wellness.

Dr. Jones says "everyone has minimum requirements when it comes to nutrition". One example would be a multi-vitamin. You can see the ones we recommend on our products page.

Honestly, how many of us get the recommended fresh fruit and vegetable servings per day?  

There are very few people who can answer yes to this question. So what can you do? Supplement your diet with the appropriate vitamins and minerals to "fill in the the blanks". It is also interesting that many programs, that we will keep anonymous, suggest that ketchup and french fries are considered vegetables and they count toward your recommended daily allowances. We do not agree with such recommendations. We do teach our patients that fresh is better than canned or frozen. Fresh means that the food is as close to the way it should be naturally as possible.

What about organic? 

Yes, we do recommend organic but we hold the position that not all organic is the same.
