As an acupuncturist, I see a whole host of conditions, some in their initial stages or some that are decades old. People come to me with a laundry list of ailments and an equally long list of medications. Pharmaceuticals can be life-savers but can also create side effects and interactions, which may not be so pleasant.
For instance, many medications affect the way vitamins and minerals are absorbed in the body. I encourage patients to take a scroll through www.mytavin.com and type in their medications to see what nutritional deficits can arise from certain medication use. Not all medications are listed, but many are. This site can provide some valuable insight, offering important guidance.
Adding supplements to the arsenal of morning, afternoon, and evening pills may greatly decrease some medication side effects such as fatigue, nausea, appetite concerns, hair loss, skin rashes, etc. A little supplementation can make a big difference. We all want to feel good and help our bodies to function optimally, thereby helping everything work in concert is worth the effort.
If your research indicates you need extra supplementation, we can help. Element offers a wide range of supplements from several different companies including Pure Encapsulations, Thorne, and Metagenics. Stop by to check them out!
