Nutritional Supplements

Nutriceutical supplements are an integral component to achieving and maintaining optimal health. Dr. Edwards offers a variety of pharmaceutical grade nutritional supplements to compliment her integrative approach to patient care.

Since the FDA does not regulate the nutriceutical supplement industry, patients should exercise caution in purchasing over the counter supplements and discuss all supplement use with their health care provider.

The nutritional supplements offered by Dr. Edwards are Pharmaceutical Grade meaning that they have met the highest industry standards for purity, dissolution, bioavailability, and absorption. Over the counter and other supplements available through on-line purchase through various distributors have typically not been subjected to the same rigorous testing and may contain numerous impurities in addition to suboptimal doses of essential vitamins and minerals.

Dr. Edwards recommends supplements on an individualized basis in accordance with a patient's current health status, genetic predisposition to chronic health conditions, and any hormonal imbalances they may have. She has a thorough knowledge of potential drug-herb interactions to guide patients who may take other prescription drugs.

Dr. Edwards utilizes nutritional supplementation only when clinically necessary and does not supersede appropriately placed pharmaceutical treatment with nutriceuticals.
