Supplements, Do I Need Them?

Before consuming any nutritional supplement, it is important to ask your healthcare provider for any contraindications. Preferably a chiropractor who knows nutrition or an acupuncturist. Otherwise, you might be walking out of the consultation with some drugs.

First, let's look at the definition of supplement: Something added to complete a thing, make up for a deficiency, or extend or strengthen the whole. (freedictionary.com) 
Do I need it? If you have a balanced and complete diet, then there is nothing needed to complete it.
But for 99.99999% of us who even though try to eat as well as we can, basic supplementation is probably necessary. Sure, there are numerous ways to quantify which supplements are needed but who has the extra few hundred bucks laying around to get all these tests done.


The 3 basic supplements that I  take daily are:
3 g of Omega 3 oil (Fish oil)
Multivitamin without Iron
Vitamind D3 4000 IU

Do the brands matter? Yes! Read my nutrition blog.

Now, I will list some supplements that I recommend to my patients based on their symptoms. 

Venous Problems (varicose veins, insufficiency): Pycnogenol, Fish Oil, Garlic
Joint Pain: Glucosamine Sulfate, MSM, Chondrotin Sulfate, Tumeric, Fish Oil, Bromelain, Papain, Asthaxanthin, Ginger
Inflammation: Tumeric, Fish Oil, Coconut Oil, Asthaxanthin, Ginger
Neuropathy: B6, B12, 
High Triglyceride: Fish Oil
Diabetes: Chromium Picolinate
Night Vision: Asthaxanthin
Infection: Coconut Oil, Ginger, probiotics
Cold: Ginger,Vitamin C, Airborne, Honey
Muscle Spasm: Calcium/Magnesium
Gastrointestinal disconfort: Probiotics, ginger, aloe vera

Remember, these are suggestions, you can contact us with any questions. Good luck and remember, eat lot's of fruits and veggies. Avoid consumption of dairy, wheat, barley, rye, and soy, due to high allergy possibilities.
