WHY WHOLE FOOD SUPPLEMENTS
In a perfect world, you would get your nutritional needs met by the food you eat. Unfortunately, even the best modern diets are not nutrient-dense. This results in widespread vitamin and mineral deficiencies that can leave you weary.
There are very few supplement brands that I recommend to patients. Supplements are not created equal, and price tag is no insurance of effectiveness. Nearly all over-the-counter vitamins or meal replacement shakes are pharmaceutically engineered. They do not resemble food and if your vitamins are not derived from whole foods they can make you even more deficient and nutritionally out of balance.
At Sojourn Wellness Center the supplements we recommend are whole food concentrates from Standard Process, and other high quality brands. We see fantastic results from these superior alternatives and are pleased to be able to offer them to out practice members.
