About Supplements
-
Supplements are 'bits of concentrated food' or select nutrients with minimal/zero calories used to correct insufficiency and support biological pathways based on your personal and family history, physical examination and lab testing.
-
The foundation of restoring and maintaining your health is to make wise food and lifestyle choices.
-
Applying this fundamental concept is essential to heal and sustain body and mind vitality.
-
Over the past two decades products were researched and integrated into the practice to suit a variety of budgets and needs. These are currently available though the clinic and in Dr Merrifield's highly recommended vetted Professional eStore by Fullscript.
-
We try to minimize costs for you by looking for the best quality control with the highest industry standard ingredients and by working closely with various manufacturers and vendors who do not use expensive marketing tactics. We do not participate in multilevel marketing programs.
-
It is well known there is a wide variation in quality when it comes to supplements. The FDA allows a product to be sold if over 50% of the ingredient is in present. Too often, what is claimed to be in the bottle is simply not accurate - either by dose or by quality. ie. Vit D2 is not the same as Vit D3, and Vit E as alpha tocopherol is not the same as high gamma mixed tocopherols.
-
We routinely discount the products both in clinic and though our e-Store.
-
Per Hippocrates, LET FOOD BE YOUR MEDICINE and leave the drugs in the chemist's pot (whenever possible).
​

Further SAVINGS: There is no sales tax on supplements if
you are a patient and have your nutrients prescribed and purchased through the office. There will be tax online.
Any prescribed nutrients, may be used as an itemized deduction on your income tax return. Health Savings and workplace Flex Plans (Pre-Tax dollars) may be used depending on your plan.
