Complementary PrescriptionsBuilding A Supplement Program That's Right For You by Ward Dean, M.D., Medical Director, Complementary Prescriptions With all the possible choices of vitamins and supplements available today - a wide range of formulas and products from countless companies - selecting the most apropriate formula for your needs may appear overwhelming. This uncertainty is commmon not only for those who are new to supplements, but among informed consumers as well. For example, when evaluating the nutritional programs of my patients, I ask them to bring in their current supplements. What I usually find is a "mish-mash" of bottles from several different companies. The trouble with this approach is that it is costly and not necessarily in the best interest of one's health. These combinations of formulas characteristically contain large amounts of certain therapeutic nutrients, plus miscellaneous redundant co-factors. Consequently, the various supplements often conflict with one another, and may have wastefully excesive, imbalanced or even detrimental doses of some nutrients while offering only subtherapeutic (ineffective) amounts of others. However, formulas in each level of the Complementary PrescriptionsTM anti-aging pyramid (shown here) are designed to work together in a complementary fashion. We call this synergistic approach our Modular concept. This modular approach helps ensure against unneecessary, overlapping and sometimes counterproductive ingredients. Using CP's unique modular concept, let's look at how to build an effective supplement program that's right for you, one step at a time. As shown below, when designing a nutritional supplement program, there are some basic requirements common to all of us. Multinutrients Minerals Phytonutrients Condition-Specific
Formulas Antioxidants,
Hormone Suppport and Other Anti-Aging Nutrients By following these simple steps based on the Complementary PrescriptionsTM modular concept, you can be confident that your individual nutritional requirements are being met, while minimizing unwanted and unnecessary ingredients.
