Nutritional Supplements

A Gateway to Optimized Health

If you aim to optimize your health and wellness, understanding the role of nutritional supplements is crucial. Despite a balanced diet, our bodies often lack essential nutrients, leading to various health issues. This is where nutritional supplements step in, offering a tailored approach to fill those nutritional gaps.

What Are Nutritional Supplements?

Nutritional supplements are products intended to increase your daily intake of nutrients. They come in various forms, such as pills, powders or liquids. Unlike medications, they don’t treat or cure diseases, but they can help maintain health and support bodily functions.

At AC Wellness, we provide medical-grade supplements made with high-quality and effective ingredients.

What Can Nutritional Supplements Address?

Nutritional supplements can significantly impact various aspects of your health. The specific areas they can benefit include:

• Enhanced Nutrient Intake: Filling gaps in your diet
• Improved Overall Health: Supporting systems like immunity, digestion and more
• Targeted Support: Addressing specific health needs such as hair growth or bone health

DIM

This supplement promotes estrogen metabolism and detoxification. It’s formulated with diindolylmethane (DIM) derived from cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and Brussels sprouts. DIM supplements are often used for their potential benefits in hormone balance and support for healthy estrogen metabolism. The inclusion of sulforaphane glucosinolate (SGS) in this supplement enhances DIM’s antioxidant properties, aiming to aid in the body’s natural detoxification processes both for women and men!

5-MTHF

This supplement is designed to support methylation, a critical biochemical process in the body that influences many metabolic pathways, including DNA synthesis and repair, detoxification and neurotransmitter production. 5-MTHF is rich in B vitamins and other nutrients vital for optimal methylation, which is crucial for maintaining heart health, cognitive function and emotional wellness, making it a foundational aspect of your body’s daily functioning.

ADK5 and ADK10

These supplements combine vitamins A, D and K in specific dosages (indicated by the numbers 5 and 10) to support strong and healthy bones, particularly as we age. Vitamin A acts as a powerful antioxidant, which may support immune health. Vitamin D is known for its role in lowering cholesterol and improving calcium absorption, which is vital for bone health.

Who Are Good Candidates for Nutritional Supplements?

Ideal candidates for nutritional supplements are those who:

• Have specific nutritional deficiencies identified through blood panels
• Seek to improve overall wellness and support specific health areas
• Are looking for high-quality, medical-grade supplements tailored to their needs

What Results Can I Expect From Nutritional Supplements?

Nutritional supplements can bring about a range of benefits. Initially, you may notice short-term improvements that can be quite encouraging. These early changes might include increased energy levels, a feeling of heightened vitality or improved digestion. Such improvements often serve as the first signs that your body is responding positively to the supplements.

As you continue your supplement regimen, expect to see more long-term benefits. These can manifest as sustained improvements in nutrient levels, which contribute to your overall well-being. For example, you may experience enhanced immune function, better skin health or more consistent energy throughout the day. It’s also common to notice a general sense of improved wellness as your body receives the nutrients it needs.

It’s important to note that the timeline for experiencing these results can vary widely among individuals. Factors such as your baseline nutritional status, lifestyle and specific health conditions all play a role in how quickly and noticeably you’ll feel the benefits. While some people may start noticing positive changes within a few weeks, others may find it takes a couple of months to observe significant improvements.

Can Supplements Replace a Healthy Diet?

Nutritional supplements are valuable in supporting your overall health and wellness. However, it’s essential to understand that they are, as their name suggests, supplements — not substitutes for a healthy diet and lifestyle. Supplements are designed to fill nutritional gaps in your diet, not to replace whole foods. They work best when used in conjunction with a varied and balanced diet.

A balanced approach to health, which includes a nutritious diet, regular exercise, adequate sleep and stress management, is critical to achieving optimal wellness. Supplements serve as an additional resource within this holistic framework, enhancing your nutritional intake when necessary.

How Much Do Nutritional Supplements Cost?

The cost of supplements at AC Wellness varies depending on:

• The type of supplement
• The specific formulation and dosage

We strive to provide cost-effective solutions without compromising quality. At your consultation, we can review the cost of the supplement dosages in your recommended plan.
