WHY I use PROFESSIONAL grade supplements?   

I use many professional brands in my office.  Here are the reasons I use them:

1. They work!  I see many chronic difficult symptoms where patients have gone to multiple doctors, both conventional and complementary.  Many patients that have tried supplements for their symptoms have not resolved their symptoms.  That is why they come to my office.  Not only have they wasted a lot of money but the supplements may actually have damaged their bodies.  Either actively due to toxins in the supplements or passively because their bodies continue to deteriorate from the supplements lack of regenerative ability.

3.   In the case of Biotics,  They are a company driven to produce results oriented supplements.  There is no regulation requirements on supplements.  When you go to the Health food store you are limited by your research only.  Based on that, you pick what you think you need.  So,  you must research the quality of the supplements. 

Things to look for when choosing supplements:

1.  Are they GMP certified? FDA is becoming more stringent with supplement companies.  Those companies that don't abide, will close up shop!  GMP Certification (Good manufacturing Practices) was started in 2007.  GMP is the minimum that you should look for in a supplement.  It’s important to understand that GMP certification by itself may not ensure that the vitamin or mineral supplement you take will provide the benefits you've seen or heard advertised. But it can help to make sure that you are getting what you pay for in the bottle, and that it’s been handled in a manner that attempts to ensure your safety.    A study was done by Consumer labs (www.consumerlab.com) did a study on Valerian for 10 companies.   5 had the amount of Valerian it said on the label.  5 did not.   One had Zero Valerian!  Getting what it says on the label is where GMP is critical.

2.  Is the company testing for breakdown and absorption of the supplement?  This is not a FDA GMP requirement.  This is something that professional companies like Biotics goes the extra mile for.  They have found poor quality supplements not absorbing and therefore an example of your money "going down the drain".
